cannot use proxy for gradle

[mohammadrafigh]

thanks for your great job,

I want to request a feature if it's not exists already. I want to add http and https proxy for gradle when fetching dependencies but I can not find any option.

Hey, thanks for the compliment.
You mean provide a proxy because you can't access maven?

[mohammadrafigh]

unfortunately some maven and gradle repositories have restrictions in my country.

Aw ok, so that will happen whenever you use Gradle, you should try to find an alternative solution like changing your DNS's to the google ones or openDNS so you can solve your problem forever ;)
Don't get me wrong but that's not quite dryrun's problem so to speak.
Best of luck and say something when you find a solution 👍

umm... ok I know but it would be much better if you could include a gradle.properties when you want to run gradle build command which includes:

systemProp.https.proxyHost=user entered host
systemProp.https.proxyPort=user entered port
systemProp.http.proxyHost=user entered host
systemProp.http.proxyPort=user entered port

I thought it would be easy. otherwise thanks again for your fast reply.

Didn't know about this, so you're saying that if I add a gradle.properties with this:

systemProp.http.proxyHost=www.somehost.org
systemProp.http.proxyPort=8080
systemProp.http.proxyUser=userid
systemProp.http.proxyPassword=password

it will work for you?

[mohammadrafigh]

Yes sure, in my case I use polipo so i use it like this without username and pass

systemProp.https.proxyHost=localhost
systemProp.https.proxyPort=8123
systemProp.http.proxyHost=localhost
systemProp.http.proxyPort=8123

One for http and one for https. Also you can do it without creating a gradle.properties file, but also with cli
Like this

gradlew -Dhttp.proxyHost=localhost -Dhttp.proxyPort=8123 -Dhttps.proxyHost=localhost -Dhttps.proxyPort=8123

I think this one should be easier to implement for you as you don't need to creat a new file. So you can add it to dryrun cli for example like this too:
dryrun -Dhttp.proxyHost=localhost -Dhttp.proxyPort=8123 -Dhttps.proxyHost=localhost -Dhttps.proxyPort=8123

Hope these would help ;)
