Dependencies don't get updated if the version is delegated

[cwrau]

I have the following build.gradle.kts:

val junitVersion: String by project

dependencies {
	testRuntimeOnly("org.junit.jupiter", "junit-jupiter-engine", junitVersion)
}

and my gradle.properties:

junitVersion=5.3.1

If I run ./gradlew dependencyUpdates I can see that there is an update for junit to 5.3.2.

But if I run ./gradlew useLatestVersions the gradle.properties does not get updated.

Which version of the plugin do you use?

[cwrau]

I'm using the following versions:

     id("se.patrikerdes.use-latest-versions") version "0.2.7"
     id("com.github.ben-manes.versions") version "0.20.0"

@cwrau I can reproduce the issue, but it is not related to the delegete.
It happens because you use testRuntimeOnly not with the dependencyNotation (testRuntimeOnly("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:$junitVersion"), but with explicit group, name and version without named parameters.
This doesn't seem to be supported yet.

I will write some more test cases for the different possibilities to specify the dependencies with the Kotlin DSL and will open a PR to add this functionality.

@usr42 thanks, all contributions are very welcome

[usr42]

@cwrau This should be fixed now

[cwrau]

Amazing!
When can I expect a release?
Or is it automagically deployed?

[usr42]

It's not automatically deployed, so we have to wait for a release.
@patrikerdes If you need any help, please let me know. Are for example some Readme adaptation needed?

[patrikerdes]

It has been released as 0.2.8

[cwrau]

Thank you for the quick fix!
