How to list "compile" configuration's "provided" dependencies? I would like to download all of the dependencies - gradle

Question

To list dependencies with gradle:
gradlew dependencies
This will show the all of the dependencies in your current projects configurations.
For example:
testCompile - Classpath for compiling the test sources.

Notice, the shadows-support-v4 artifact brings in robolectric artifact which brings in the dependency: org.robolectric:shadows-core-v23:3.1.2.
If we go to the build.gradle file, we notice there are provided dependencies that are not brought in: https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric/blob/f68ba6bcb51fb25a28805a3c5f7ffcee2d9560d5/robolectric-shadows/shadows-core/build.gradle#L16.
Actual pom file: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/robolectric/robolectric/3.1.2/robolectric-3.1.2.pom. Provided dependencies are not added to the POM but the runtime dependencies are.
How can I go deeper and list all of the dependencies of the dependencies including any provided dependencies?

Answer 1

I answered this here: https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric/issues/2646
For those that are still having this problem, download all the dependencies and transitive dependencies up front for your CI:
subprojects { project ->
task downloadDependencies(type: Copy) {
description "Downloads all dependencies."
group "build"
from {
// Use of closure defers evaluation until execution time
project.configurations
.findAll { configuration -> configuration.canBeResolved }
.collect { configuration -> configuration.resolvedConfiguration.lenientConfiguration.files }
}
into "$project.buildDir/dependencies"
}
}
Example:
Step 1: gradlew downloadDependencies
Step 2: gradlew assembleDebug testDebug
