Gradle: Is there no such property for a class error thrown into a submodule?

Question

I am trying to declare dependencies in my gradle project using the method described in this answer .

However, when I do this, I get this error:

 No such property: libraries for class 

How can i fix this?

The dependencies declared as top level properties of build.gradle are as follows:

 ext.libraries = [ junit: 'junit:junit:4.10' ] 

Trying to get a dependency in the module level of build.gradle (where the error occurs):

 testCompile([ libraries.junit ]) 

Mistake:

 No such property: libraries for class: org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler 

Answer 1

• At the top level settings.gradle enable your subproject:

   include 'subproject' 

• At the top level of build.gradle specify ext properties:

   ext.libraries = [junit: 'junit:junit:4.10'] 

it doesn't have to be a map if you use only one value, but I stick to your formatting.

3. To use this in your subproject build.gradle :

    dependencies{ testCompile libraries.junit }
