I have the problem. I have undesired dependency, that is not included explicitly in the gradle file. I cannot figure out how to find which dependency transitively includes this one.

How can I find out where does this dependency come from ?

I have tried 

gradlew analyze

But fails to compile my project

Thanks

dependencyInsight task can do this for you. Example:

 gradle -q lib:dependencyInsight --dependency groovy --configuration compile

or for Android

gradlew -q app:dependencyInsight --dependency gson --configuration debugCompileClasspath

Will show why dependency containing groovy in its name is included in compile configuration of the lib project. See this doc section for details

    With gradle 3.0 we have to use construction like this: **gradlew -q app:dependencyInsight --dependency gson --configuration debugCompileClasspath** – zkvarz Nov 07 '17 at 12:36

    To find out configurations in your project, run `./gradlew app:androidDependencies`. There all configurations are listed for the `app` module. Although default, `debugCompileClasspath` not always is a configuration in the `app` module (neither is the `app` module always called `app`). – Erik Jun 28 '19 at 11:11
