Gradle metadata not published by artifactory gradle plugin

[bclozel]

As of Gradle 5.3, we can now publish Gradle metadata with our build. Right now, one needs to enable this feature with enableFeaturePreview("GRADLE_METADATA").

I'm using Gradle 5.6.1 and artifactory plugin 4.9.8 with a publication setup. The module.json are generated during the build (and they can be seen in build/publications/mavenJava/ for each module. As advised by Gradle developers I'm publishing porper software components as well.

You can more details about my setup here and here, but basically:

// using a software component in the publication setup
publishing {
	publications {
		mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
			from components.java
			artifact sourcesJar
			artifact javadocJar
		}
	}
}

// publishing the maven publication for each project
artifactoryPublish {
	publications(publishing.publications.mavenJava)
}

The build log shows that now both generateMetadataFileForMavenJavaPublication and generatePomFileForMavenJavaPublication tasks are running before the artifactoryPublish task, but the module.json is not pushed to the artifact repository by the artifactoryDeploy task.

Is this feature supported by the artifactory gradle plugin?
Am I missing an experimental flag or some specific configuration on my side?

Gradle 6.0 will no longer require the feature preview flag to produce the Gradle Module Metadata as it will become the default.
It would be awesome if that new file was published by this plugin.

This is increasingly important as Kotlin Multiplatform requires the .module files to be publishes along with the standard POM and binary file.

I am working on a PR to address this

#265 had been merged. Thanks @ljacomet!
@bclozel, @ansman,
A snapshot is available in oss.jfrog.org. To test it, use the following configuration in your build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://oss.jfrog.org/oss-snapshot-local" }
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath(group: 'org.jfrog.buildinfo', name: 'build-info-extractor-gradle', version: '4.9.x-SNAPSHOT')
    }
}

We'll appreciate you feedback for that!
