How to download a specific file?

[TomDmitriev]

I encountered this problem when I tried to migrate from bower-installer-gradle plugin to this one. The following works in the former

bower {
    ...
    requirejs('http://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.3.2/minified/require.js') {
        source 'index.js' >> 'require.min.js'
    }
    ...

However this plugin throws an error

org.eclipse.jgit.errors.NoRemoteRepositoryException: http://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.3.2/minified/require.js: http://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.3.2/minified/require.js/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack not found

I'm not sure how the old plugin worked, but to just grab require.min.js from that repo, you could try something like:

clientDependencies {
    bower {
        'requirejs'('2.3.2') {
            include 'require.min.js'
        }
    }
}

I could try this if require.min.js was available via bower, which is not the case, requirejs/requirejs#737.

@TomDmitriev you should be able to grab this directly from npm:

clientDependencies {
    npm {
     requirejs('2.3.2') {
        include 'require.min.js'
    }
}

I'm closing this. Feel free to comment if that doesn't work and I'll reopen.
