Download Gradle dependencies with ".modules" files - maven

Question

I currently have an offline environment where I have all my dependencies (jar, aar & pom files). The thing is that I want to use Coil (image library) as a dependency in my Android project. This library requires kotlinx-coroutines-core to be also downloaded in my environment. I have been able to download all the required files except for .module file (Gradle Module Metadata), which is necessary because there are multiple variants of kotlinx-coroutines-core (versions for the JVM, JS and Native).
In other words, my code downloads kotlinx-coroutines-core-jvm-1.3.9.jar (with its POM) and kotlinx-coroutines-core-1.3.9.pom which is great but kotlinx-coroutines-core-1.3.9.module file is still missing and not sure how can I download it.
Here is my code based on this gist:
task copyDependencies() {
def name = "default"
def configuration = configurations.getByName(name)
copyJars(configuration)
copyPoms(configuration)
}
private void copyJars(Configuration configuration) {
File repoDir = new File(project.buildDir, 'repository')
configuration.resolvedConfiguration.resolvedArtifacts.each { artifact ->
def moduleVersionId = artifact.moduleVersion.id
File moduleDir = new File(repoDir, "${moduleVersionId.group.replace('.', '/')}/${moduleVersionId.name}/${moduleVersionId.version}")
GFileUtils.mkdirs(moduleDir)
GFileUtils.copyFile(artifact.file, new File(moduleDir, artifact.file.name))
}
}
private void copyPoms(Configuration configuration) {
def componentIds = configuration.incoming.resolutionResult.allDependencies.collect { it.selected.id }
def result = project.dependencies.createArtifactResolutionQuery()
.forComponents(componentIds)
.withArtifacts(MavenModule, MavenPomArtifact)
.execute()
for (component in result.resolvedComponents) {
def componentId = component.id
if (componentId instanceof ModuleComponentIdentifier) {
File repoDir = new File(project.buildDir, 'repository')
File moduleDir = new File(repoDir, "${componentId.group.replace('.', '/')}/${componentId.module}/${componentId.version}")
GFileUtils.mkdirs(moduleDir)
File pomFile = component.getArtifacts(MavenPomArtifact)[0].file
GFileUtils.copyFile(pomFile, new File(moduleDir, pomFile.name))
}
}
}
So my question is: How can I download .module files when downloading my dependencies? An example would be downloading this file.

Answer 1

To copy a configuration's files to a directory, you can do this:
task copyLibs(type: Copy) {
from configurations.runtimeClasspath
into file("$buildDir/repository")
}
This will copy everything including transitive dependencies.
Not need to write all that code yourself. Why do you want POMs and all that in your application's classpath? Just let Gradle sort it out for you.
