Scala Steward can look for newer versions of artifacts with different group Ids, artifact ids, or both different.
By default, Scala Steward applies the artifact migrations defined in the
default list. When running Scala Steward you can also specify
files or URLs (via the --artifact-migrations
command-line option) that
contain additional migrations. These files are in HOCON format and
should look like this:
changes = [
{
groupIdBefore = com.geirsson
groupIdAfter = org.scalameta
artifactIdAfter = sbt-scalafmt
initialVersion = 2.0.0
}
]
In this example, scala-steward will look in the project for dependencies with the before group id, "com.geirsson", and artifact id "sbt-scalafmt". If found, scala-steward will search for updates using the after group id, "org.scalameta", artifact id "sbt-scalafmt", and version greater than the initial version, 2.0.0. If found, scala-steward will update to the after group id and latest version.
The fields groupIdBefore
and artifactIdBefore
are optional. If just groupIdBefore
is specified, as in the previous
example, then only the group id will get renamed. If just artifactIdBefore
is specified, then only the artifact id
will get renamed. Specifying both groupIdBefore
and artifactIdBefore
will rename both.
