Is it possible to restrict a gradle repository to a particular configuration?

I want to tie gradle repositories to specific configurations in my build.gradle file, e.g.:

repositories {
    testCompile {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    compile {
        maven { url 'https://vetted-repo.example.com' }
    }
}

I can't find a simple way to do this from the gradle documentation. Do I need to write my own plugin?

As of Gradle 5.1 this is now possible, from the release notes:

It is now possible to match repositories to dependencies, so that Gradle doesn't search for a dependency in a repository if it's never going to be found there.

Example:

repositories {
  maven {
    url "https://repo.mycompany.com"
    content {
      includeGroupByRegex "com\\.mycompany.*"
    }
  }
}

For the specific requirement of restricting a repository to a specific configuration such as compile, you could use the onlyForConfigurations property:

repositories {
  maven { 
    url "https://vetted-repo.example.com"
    content {
      onlyForConfigurations "compile"
    }
  }
}

It is now possible to declare a repository filter in gradle. see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html#declaring_a_repository_filter this does exactly what you need here.

This is not supported by gradle at the moment. When resolving dependencies, gradle tries al listed repositories (from top to bottom) to resolve a dependency. Once the dependency is found it stops looking for it in other repositories
