gradle-auto-version

Gradle plugin to read the projects version number from version.gradle file. Also provides tasks to increment versions directly in the file.

Usage

Include the plugin in your build.gradle like this:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
    }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "gradle.plugin.com.github.mazzeb:auto-version:0.3.0"
  }
}

apply plugin: "com.github.mazzeb.auto-version"

autoversion {
    versionFile: "version.json"
}

Now remove the version from your build gradle and create a version.json file:

{
    "major": 1,
    "minor": 3,
    "patch": 0,
    "label": "snapshot"
}

When applied, these information are used to set the projects version. To avoid confusion you get an error if the version is also specified in build.gradle.

The plugin also provides the following additional tasks:

• nextMajor - increment major release and set minor and patch to 0.
• nextMinor - increment minor and set patch to 0
• nextPatch - increment patch
• setVersion - read version string interactive
