Releasing multi-module project

[jnehlmeier]

Hi,

can you give me an example on how to release a multi-module project with your grgit-release plugin?

If I apply the plugin to all my subprojects it tries to create the same version for each subproject which obviously fails in git.
If I apply the plugin to the root project only then
1.) releaseTask needs to reference subproject tasks which is annoying if you have quite some subprojects, e.g. releaseTask = [ ':proj1:clean', 'proj2:clean', 'proj1:build', 'proj2:build' ]
2.) the prepare task fails because no version has been inferred.

localhost:common-parent Jens$ ./gradlew -Prelease.scope=major -Prelease.stage=final release
The Compile.setJavaCompiler(Compiler<JavaCompileSpec>) method has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0.
:prepare FAILED
:validateSinceTags SKIPPED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':prepare'.
> Version has not been inferred.

The build file of the root project is basically like:

apply plugin: 'grgit-release'

release {
  grgit = Grgit.open(project.file('.'))
  releaseTasks = [':common:clean', ':common-gwt:clean', ':common:build', ':common-gwt:build' ]
}

subprojects {
  apply plugin: 'java'
  apply plugin: 'signing'
  apply plugin: 'maven'
  ..... configuration for all subprojects ....
}

I think I am missing something obvious.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure you're missing anything. I don't think plugin is set up well to handle multi-projects.

Sounds like two separate issues so far:

1. Hard to setup release tasks on a multi-project. The best option might be to do things like this. Syntax might be a little off... releaseTasks = allprojects.collect { proj -> ['clean', 'build'].collect { name -> proj.tasks.getByName(name) }.flatten()
2. The prepare task failing to infer. Can you provide a stack trace for that?

Here is the full output:

21:19:39: Executing external task 'release'...
The Compile.setJavaCompiler(Compiler<JavaCompileSpec>) method has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0.
:prepare FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

> Version has not been inferred.

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Exception is:

[ajoberstar]

Looks like a separate issue. Added it as #60.

[jnehlmeier]

Ok cool, I subscribed #60

Regarding the releaseTask definition I am currently doing

 releaseTasks = ['clean', 'build'].collect { task ->
    subprojects.collect { project ->
      ":" + project.name + ":" + task
    }.flatten()
  }.flatten()

Obviously not optimal. There might also be additional tasks you only want to execute once for the root project and after all submodules are build. For example your publishGhPages task should upload an aggregated JavaDoc from all submodules and not the JavaDoc from each submodule on its own.

[ajoberstar]

OK. Would it help if I added a shouldRunAfter ordering to everything in the list? That way they would typically be in the order they are listed.

[ajoberstar]

I'm going to close this for now. If you would like some changes to address the issues you've had with multi-project please reopen and let me know what your thoughts are.
