Circular dependency between the following tasks

Question

I try to solve this problem for more than 5 hours. What could be the problem?

Circular dependency between the following tasks:
:app:checkManifestChangesDevelopDebug
\--- :app:instantRunMainApkResourcesDevelopDebug
     \--- :app:transformClassesAndDexWithShrinkResForDevelopDebug
          \--- :app:transformDexArchiveWithDexMergerForDevelopDebug
               +--- :app:preColdswapDevelopDebug
               |    \--- :app:incrementalDevelopDebugTasks
               |         +--- :app:transformClassesAndClassesEnhancedWithInstantReloadDexForDevelopDebug
               |         |    \--- :app:transformClassesWithInstantRunForDevelopDebug
               |         |         \--- :app:checkManifestChangesDevelopDebug (*)
               |         \--- :app:transformClassesWithInstantRunForDevelopDebug (*)
               \--- :app:transformClassesWithDexBuilderForDevelopDebug
                    +--- :app:preColdswapDevelopDebug (*)
                    \--- :app:transformClassesWithInstantRunForDevelopDebug (*)

Solution 1

This can occur when a module depends on itself!

For example, suppose this for module app:

...

dependencies {
    compile project(':app') // !!!
    ...
}

Solution 2

But minifyEnabled is important in production. I have tried the following arrangement and it worked with instant run enabled:

minifyEnabled true
useProguard true
shrinkResources false

So this tends to happen when instant Run is enabled and shrinkResources is set to true as well.

Solution 3

For errors such this:

Circular dependency between the following tasks::app:bundleDebugClasses
\--- :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac
     \--- :package_name:bundleLibCompileToJarDebug
          \--- :package_name:compileDebugJavaWithJavac
               \--- :app:bundleDebugClasses (*)

This error occurs because you have created a cycle between dependencies. This means two implementations that one belongs to the other is used, so you should remove additional implementation from below build.gradle in list of gradles. Another example: If package A is implemented in package B and also you needed to put B implementation in A and you did that, it makes this error.

Solution 4

minified, userProguard, shrink resources can produce errors in debug mode. These features are needed to be used in Release version. So you need to disable them or you can add debuggable=false.

debug {
            minifyEnabled true
            useProguard true
            shrinkResources true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }

[bto]

The Circular dependency refers to the fact that the task :app:checkManifestChangesDevelopDebug, through its dependencies listed in that graph, will eventually lead to itself being called again. We'll need to see your build.gradle to try to make sense of why the circular dependency exists.

[Артем Протасов]

@bto I updated my question

[Sagar]

@TouhidulIslam Have you solved this ?

[mmdreza baqalpour]

My problem was I was imported module data into app and module app into data

[Inliner]

In my case, I was using plugin from buildSrc that contained common dependency for the module itself
