## Interface ResolvableDependencies

- All Superinterfaces:
    `ArtifactView`, `HasAttributes`

      public interface ResolvableDependencies
      extends ArtifactView

  A set of `Dependency` objects which can be resolved to a set of files. There are various methods on this type that you can use to get the result in different forms:
  - `getFiles()` returns a `FileCollection` that provides the result as a set of `File` instances.
  - `getResolutionResult()` returns a `ResolutionResult` that provides information about the dependency graph.
  - `getArtifacts()` returns an `ArtifactCollection` that provides the files with additional metadata.

  The dependencies are resolved once only, when the result is first requested. The result is reused and returned for subsequent calls. Once resolved, any mutation to the dependencies will result in an error.

    - #### getName

          java.lang.String getName()

      Returns the name of this set.
      Returns:
        The name. Never null.

    - #### getPath

          java.lang.String getPath()

      Returns the path of this set. This is a unique identifier for this set.
      Returns:
        The path. Never null.

    - #### getFiles

          FileCollection getFiles()

      Returns a `FileCollection` which contains the resolved set of files. The returned value is lazy, so dependency resolution is not performed until the contents of the collection are queried.

      The `FileCollection` carries the task dependencies required to build the files in the result, and when used as a task input the files will be built before the task executes.

      Specified by:
        `getFiles` in interface `ArtifactView`
      Returns:
        The collection. Never null.

    - #### getDependencies

          DependencySet getDependencies()

      Returns the set of dependencies which will be resolved.
      Returns:
        the dependencies. Never null.

    - #### getDependencyConstraints

          DependencyConstraintSet getDependencyConstraints()

      Returns the set of dependency constraints which will be considered during resolution.
      Returns:
        the dependency constraints. Never null.

        4.6

    - #### beforeResolve

          void beforeResolve​(Action<? super ResolvableDependencies> action)

      Adds an action to be executed before the dependencies in this set are resolved.
      Parameters:
        `action` - The action to execute.

    - #### beforeResolve

          void beforeResolve​(@DelegatesTo(ResolvableDependencies.class)
                             Closure action)

      Adds an action to be executed before the dependencies in this set are resolved.
      Parameters:
        `action` - The action to execute.

    - #### afterResolve

          void afterResolve​(Action<? super ResolvableDependencies> action)

      Adds an action to be executed after the dependencies of this set have been resolved.
      Parameters:
        `action` - The action to execute.

    - #### afterResolve

          void afterResolve​(@DelegatesTo(ResolvableDependencies.class)
                            Closure action)

      Adds an action to be executed after the dependencies of this set have been resolved.
      Parameters:
        `action` - The action to execute.

    - #### getResolutionResult

          ResolutionResult getResolutionResult()

      Returns the resolved dependency graph, performing the resolution if required. This will resolve the dependency graph but will not resolve or download the files.

      You should note that when resolution fails, the exceptions are included in the `ResolutionResult` returned from this method. This method will not throw these exceptions.

      Returns:
        the resolution result

        1.3

    - #### getArtifacts

          ArtifactCollection getArtifacts()
                                   throws ResolveException

      Returns the resolved artifacts, performing the resolution if required. This will resolve and download the files as required.
      Specified by:
        `getArtifacts` in interface `ArtifactView`
      Throws:
        `ResolveException` - On failure to resolve or download any artifact.
      Since:

    - #### artifactView

          ArtifactView artifactView​(Action<? super ArtifactView.ViewConfiguration> configAction)

      Returns a builder that can be used to define and access a filtered view of the resolved artifacts.
