Dependency version mismatch in Gradle when updating to latest spring-restdocs version

See original GitHub issue

For some reason, Gradle is not transitively pulling in the spring-restdocs-core dependency when the spring-restdocs-mockmvc dependency is included as a testCompile scoped dependency:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':compileTestGroovy'.
> org/springframework/restdocs/config/RestDocumentationConfigurer

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':compileTestGroovy'.

BUILD FAILED

If you look at the test scoped dependencies (using dependencies --configuration=testCompile), it appears something is forcing the value of the transitive dependency to version 1.0.1.RELEASE:

+--- org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-mockmvc:1.1.0.RELEASE
|    +--- org.springframework:spring-test:4.2.5.RELEASE -> 4.2.6.RELEASE (*)
|    \--- org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-core:1.1.0.RELEASE -> 1.0.1.RELEASE
|         +--- junit:junit:4.12 (*)
|         +--- javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.1.0
|         +--- org.springframework:spring-webmvc:4.1.8.RELEASE -> 4.2.6.RELEASE (*)
|         \--- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.4.6.1 -> 2.6.6 (*)

For the life of me, I cannot find any other reference to spring-restdocs-core in the rest of the listed dependencies, so I am not sure how/why it is getting down cast to the previous version. It is also worth noting that this is happening in a project that has been updated from version 1.0.2.RELEASE (again, not sure where 1.0.1.RELEASE is coming from). I have cleared all Gradle caches and performed a clean build and it produces the same result. I was able to get around this by manually including the spring-restdocs-core dependency explicitly in my build script:

    testCompile 'org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-core:1.1.0.RELEASE'
    testCompile 'org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-mockmvc:1.1.0.RELEASE'

Hello, the same happened to me using Maven instead, having spring boot (1.5.8.RELEASE) and spring-restdocs-mockmvc (2.0.0.RELEASE) dependency, the version of spring-restdocs-core that was pulling was 1.1.3.RELEASE, leading to a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/restdocs/config/OperationPreprocessorsConfigurer.

I solved it adding the explicit dependency as @wilkinsona said, just to let you know and for if it helps someone.

Hello, I am getting this error when I run test cases in Jenkins “Execution failed for task ‘:compileTestGroovy’” What could be the possible reason
