Question with Gradle : get the return value of a task

[joxad]

Hi,

Thanks for the job on fastlane, it is really nice to use. I have a question about it.

I have a lane that is working well :

desc "Building a new release candidate version of the proto"
  lane :build_rc do
    gradle(task: "clean") 
    gradle(task: "assembleReleaseCandidate")
    gradle(task: "createNewRevisionFile")
   # upload to Beta by Crashlytics
    crashlytics(
      api_token: ENV["CRASHLYTICS_API_TOKEN"],
      build_secret: ENV["CRASHLYTICS_BUILD_SECRET"],
    )

    send_slack(
      message:"New release candidate version oavailable",
    )
    # sh "your_script.sh"
    # You can also use other beta testing services here
  end

My question is about the createNewRevisionFile (which is working on its own)

task createNewRevisionFile() << {
    File f = new File("changelogs/"+version+"."+gitSha()+'.txt')
    def string = 'git log -1 --pretty=%B'.execute().text.trim()
    f.append(string)
    return f.getPath()
}

What I want to do is :

String fileForTheRevision =  gradle(task: "createNewRevisionFile")

crashlytics(
    ...
     notes_path: "filteForTheRevision"
    )

How can I get the return value of a gradle task in fastlane ?

@joxad Thanks for the question. Would you mind closing this issue and opening it in the main repo? This repo is for issues about our docs site itself. 👍

@joxad / @asfalcone: Hi, I am also facing the same issue.
Basically I want to fetch the build number and version of android app in fastFile, so that i can use the same in HockeyApp. Is there any workaround available?

@joxad / @asfalcone: Hi, use this way

version_name = gradle(task: "-q readVersionName")
