No Gradle compatible dependency notation

dependencies {
    build 'github.com/urfave/cli'
    test 'github.com/stretchr/testify'
}

Supplied String module notation 'github.com/urfave/cli' is invalid. Example notations: 'org.gradle:gradle-core:2.2', 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.9.5:javadoc'.

You are right @st0nx, but I thing normally every (current) go developer uses definitions of dependencies (right now) in notation like github.com/urfave/cli etc.

I already played around with things like:

  • github.com:urfave:cli
  • github.com:urfave.cli
    ...

But in all this cases I have potential clashes with other kinds of notations.

Do you have an idea for this?

This is a technical possibility. But the question is what are the advantages?

Facts github.com/urfave/cli com.github.urfave:cli:1.2
Like other Gradle project dependency definitions ✔️
Like golang developers known dependency definitions ✔️
Short dependency description ✔️

Or did I missed a technical fact or something else?

I got no response within the last 14 days. Close the issue now.
