make gradle dependency task to exclude test dependencies in its result

Question

When i run ./gradlew dependencies i get whole dependency tree including prod/main and test.

How can i get list of only production/main dependencies in result of dependencies task

Official documentation https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/viewing_debugging_dependencies.html suggests how to show dependencies that would be required on a specific config, say test runtime classpath in a Java project:

`gradle -q dependencies --configuration testRuntimeClasspath`

After googling, i found command gradlew dependencies --configuration compileClasspath Will it's result contain runtime dependencies too ?

How can i get list of dependencies, excluding test dependencies in result of dependencies task?

If what you want are the "production" runtime dependencies, use --configuration runtimeClasspath.

Configurations in Gradle are like buckets of dependencies. The ones contributed by the Java plugin are described here.

The most interesting ones are these:

compileClasspath: The dependencies needed for compiling a project. Extends extends compile (deprecated), compileOnly and implementation.
runtimeClasspath: The dependencies needed at runtime. Extends runtime (deprecated), runtimeOnly and implementation.

As you noticed, there are also "test" versions of the above two for compiling and running unit tests.
