How to list the configured repositories?

Question

How can I list all the repositories configured for a project?

Background: I have a pretty complex gradle build script and cannot get my NetBeans to download the sources for maven dependencies. In that issue-report I was suggested to double check the order in which mavenCentral is being imported.

For anyone interested, here is the code to list the loaded repositories (thanks @kelemen):

task listrepos {
    doLast {
        println "Repositories:"
        project.repositories.each { println "Name: " + it.name + "; url: " + it.url }
   }
}

After adding this code to the build script, execute gradle listrepos and voilà...

In addition, if you want to, for example, check if credentials are correctly set, you can print `it.credentials.username` and `it.credentials.password` – froblesmartin Oct 13 '20 at 10:38
And for those of you who are fatigued from whatever this is intended to troubleshoot, don't forget you need to use gradle like you would for building (e.g. `-b path/to/build.gadle`, `./gradlew` and whatnot. – Sridhar Sarnobat Aug 30 '22 at 21:53

If someone comes to this page looking for the Kotlin (build.gradle.kts) equivalent of @Alberto's answer, it would be done as follows:

tasks.register("listrepos") {
    doLast {
        println("Repositories:")
        project.repositories.map{it as MavenArtifactRepository}
            .forEach{
            println("Name: ${it.name}; url: ${it.url}")
        }
    }
}

Just as a heads up, the cast to a MavenArtifactRepository is required in the Kotlin version to get the url property. This could be different for you if you are not adding Maven Repositories.

Trying to use Alberto's task from his answer I was getting the following error as in my case I had a Plugin repository defined:

No such property: url for class: org.gradle.plugin.use.internal.PluginDependencyResolutionServices$PluginArtifactRepository

To avoid this error I have changed the task logic a bit:

task listrepos {
    doLast {
        println "Repositories:"
        project.repositories.each {
            if (it.name == '__plugin_repository__Gradle Central Plugin Repository') {
                println "Name: " + it.name + "; url: " + it.url
            } else {
                println "Name: " + it.displayName
            }
        }
    }
}
