Dependency Tree Diff

An intelligent diff tool for the output of Gradle's dependencies task which always shows the path to the root dependency.

Unlike a normal diff, unchanged entries are displayed only when they are a parent dependency to one that changed.

Compare the above diff to diff -U 0:

Note how there is no context as to what is affected.

In this particular sample we can reach the root dependencies with diff -U 2:

Now, however, additional unchanged dependencies are displayed such as androidx.sqlite and the SQLDelight runtime dependency by the RxJava 2 extensions artifact.

For deep dependency chains, -U 2 will not be enough to see all of the roots. Increasing the value will only show more unchanged dependencies. dependency-tree-diff will always display the minimal subset needed to provide context.

For more information about why a diff of the dependency tree is useful see "Surfacing Hidden Change to Pull Requests". To learn about how code shrinking keeps the binary as small as possible see "Shrinking a Kotlin binary by 99.2%".

Usage

The tool parses the output of Gradle's dependencies task. Specify --configuration <name> when running the task so that only a single tree will be shown.

$ ./gradlew :app:dependencies --configuration releaseRuntimeClasspath > old.txt
$ # Update a dependency...
$ ./gradlew :app:dependencies --configuration releaseRuntimeClasspath > new.txt
$ ./dependency-tree-diff.jar old.txt new.txt

See src/test/fixtures/ for example outputs and their expected diffs.

Install

Mac OS

$ brew install JakeWharton/repo/dependency-tree-diff

Other

Download standalone JAR from latest release. On MacOS and Linux you can chmod +x and execute the .jar directly. On Windows use java -jar.
