Mill Build Tool, how to use `evicted` - scala

Question

I want to run evicted in my Mill-project.
With SBT it can be done in the sbt-console, using:
sbt>evicted
This returns a list of version conflicts warnings:
[warn] Found version conflict(s) in library dependencies; some are suspected to be binary incompatible:
[warn] * com.typesafe:ssl-config-core_2.13:0.3.8 is selected over 0.4.0
[warn] +- com.typesafe.play:play-ws-standalone_2.13:2.0.6 (depends on 0.3.8)
[warn] +- com.typesafe.play:play_2.13:2.7.3 () (depends on 0.3.8)
[warn] +- com.typesafe.akka:akka-stream_2.13:2.5.23 () (depends on 0.4.0)
....
How is this done with Mill?
I tried the mill-console, there is no command (mill resolve _) and also Google could not help.

I assume, you are looking for possible classpath issues/warnings, which are the result of different versions of the same dependencies pulled in by transitive dependencies.
In mill, you can use the ivyDepsTree target to display a tree with all transitive ivy dependencies. This tree also includes details about version adjustments. Those lines will be printed in different colors. By default, orange for micro/patch version changes, red for minor version changes.
Let's look at the following excerpt from a random Java project:
$ mill __.ivyDepsTree
...
[416/426] <redacted>.test.ivyDepsTree
├─ com.lihaoyi:mill-contrib-testng:0.5.1-14-ef3708
│ ├─ org.scala-sbt:test-interface:1.0
│ └─ org.testng:testng:6.11 -> 6.14.2 (possible incompatibility)

├─ org.antlr:com.springsource.antlr:2.7.7
...
You can see some adaptions because of conflicting versions: org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.5 -> 1.7.25 (micro version upgrade) and org.testng:testng:6.11 -> 6.14.2 (possible incompatibility) (minor version upgrade).
Further, you could pipe the output to grep to filter the output, e.g. mill __.ivyDepsTree | grep "incompatibility".
And this looks like a usable mill equivalent to sbt evicted.
$ mill __.ivyDepsTree | grep "incompatibility"
