After two hours still doing the same.

I tried to use but it seems to me that it stays in infinite loop, after two hours still doing the same.

This will attempt to run the `:fanatics:assembleDebug` gradle task for each dependency removal.
You can override the gradle task by using the `-gradletask` command line option. See `-help` for more options.
Proceed? (y/n)

Thanks for reporting this. Looks like a bug. My first thought is that the groovy version used for parsing is older/incompatible with some content in a gradle file. Will look into it.

Same issue. Sometimes I can kill the the jar and then restart and it gets past the issue, but then it hangs a few lines down unfortunately. @r-cohen any ideas on how we can help? This basically makes this useless for me.

If it helps... this is what I'm seeing

A B C <---frozen

kill the jar and run the start command again

A B C D <---frozen

kill the jar and run the start command again

A B C D E <---frozen

kill the jar and run the start command again

A B C D E F <---frozen

kill the jar and run the start command again

@ColtonIdle thanks for reporting this. would it be possible that you send me the gradle files in the different modules of your project so that I can identify whats causing it? also: does your project have multiple modules or just 1 app module?

I can't send my build files unfortunately. If anyone comes across this though, I found this project which identifies unused dependencies among other things. Highly recommend! https://github.com/autonomousapps/dependency-analysis-android-gradle-plugin
