I wrote the Gradle plugin in Groovy and used Gradle to build it. I have an Artifactory LAN server that I publish results using the Gradle Artifactory plugin and the maven-publish plugin in Gradle. I have another Gradle build script that uses this plugin as a dependency. I was able to make it all work if I list my dependency with a specific version. I tried to use the maven version range (for example, '[1.0,2.0)'), but that did not help, saying that it could not find maven-metadata.xml. I checked Artifactory, and of course it is not there. What do I need to do to produce it, preferably during plugin build?
Here is the build.gradle file for my custom gradle plugin:
buildscript {
repositories {
maven {
url "${artifactory_contextUrl}/plugins-release"
credentials {
username = "${artifactory_user}"
password = "${artifactory_password}"
}
}
}
dependencies {
classpath group: 'org.apache.directory.studio', name: 'org.apache.commons.io', version: '2.4'
classpath group: 'org.jfrog.buildinfo', name: 'build-info-extractor-gradle', version: '2.0.9'
}
}
plugins {
id 'com.jfrog.artifactory' version '3.0.1'
}
apply plugin: 'groovy'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
artifactory {
contextUrl = "${artifactory_contextUrl}"
publish {
repository {
repoKey = 'plugins-snapshot-local'
username = "${artifactory_user}"
password = "${artifactory_password}"
maven = true
}
defaults {
publications ('mavenJava')
}
}
resolve {
repository {
repoKey = 'libs-release'
username = "${artifactory_user}"
password = "${artifactory_password}"
maven = true
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile gradleApi()
compile localGroovy()
}
publishing {
publications {
mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
from components.java
}
}
}
I searched the Gradle, Artifactory, and Maven documentation to understand maven-metadata.xml and learn how to create and deploy it. It makes sense what it is, and I could probably create it manually, but I cannot find anything that specifically explains how to automatically generate it in Gradle using the maven-publish plugin or artifactory-gradle-plugin. I donβt want to update the file manually, as this will nullify all the automation efforts, and I donβt want to switch to mvn, since I have already invested so much in Gradle.
