How do you hook up the publishing extension with the release? I don't see any dependsOn or anything like that.

alibkord · 2015-08-17T13:53:25Z

I didn't hook it up. Do I have to? I assumed there was no intrinsic dependency between them.
Based on my experience with maven's release plugin, I thought all the release plugin does is bumping up the version and pushing to scm.
As you can see I'm not running the publish/deploy when I get that error which is why I was confused what the connection is there.

danez · 2015-08-17T14:49:59Z

The release plugin is not doing anything with the publish plugin. Are you sure the error appeared when you added the release plugin?

gariem · 2015-08-17T20:30:49Z

I have the same issue, by just adding the plugin to the build.gradle file I got the same message "Cannot configure the 'publishing' extension after it has been accessed."

danez · 2015-08-17T20:33:50Z

Was it working with versions before 2.2?

danez · 2015-08-17T20:43:12Z

Ok as far as i can tell it is an issue with the order of plugins. Or at least this is a workaround to apply maven-publish after the release plugin. I will see if i can fix that.

https://discuss.gradle.org/t/apply-maven-publish-plugin-from-init-script/2460

danez · 2015-08-17T21:04:13Z

Ok I reproduced and fixed it in 4d31ad7. will be part of 2.2.1

gariem · 2015-08-17T21:22:15Z

correct, I just tried and release-plugin should be placed before maven-publish plugin

alibkord · 2015-08-17T23:13:21Z

Thanks a lot guys.

Krijger · 2016-09-16T11:35:11Z

People that run into "Cannot configure the 'publishing' extension after it has been accessed" google their way here, so I'll document an issue that had me going for quite a while.

project.publishing {
  repositories {
    maven {
      ...
    }
  }
}

is NOT the same as

project.publishing.repositories  {
  maven {
    ...
  }
}

The latter accessed the publishing Extension object which makes you run intor this issue.

childnode · 2018-02-22T06:52:26Z

This is still an issue in gradle 4.5 with

apply plugin: "maven-publish"
publishing {
    publications {
        …
    }

    repositories {
        maven {
            …
        }
    }
}

then calling

publishing {
  publications {
    …
  }
}

and "fixed" by using publishing.publications { … } secondly as described above and in stackoverflow
