FWD » Build and Source Control

Current issues:

• Gradle wrapper or a Gradle distribution must must be downloaded before Gradle build can be run.
• Current approach of copying the Gradle cache doesn't seem to handle the cases when a modul version is changed by Gradle during dependency resolution.
• Current approach of copying the Gradle cache may break when the Gradle cache format changes.

• Download the Gradle wrapper binaries and put them in the dependency zip archive, change the Gradle wrapper url to point to local file system (local-repo). Modify distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties.
• In the build script initialize the configurations conditionally either using the module name dependency syntax or directly from files on the local file system depending whether in online mode or not. Something like the below.
  

  dependencies {
      if (gradle.startParameter.isOffline()) {
          fwdLocalLibs fileTree(dir: localLibs)
      } else {
          fwdClient group: 'com.twelvemonkeys.common', name: 'common-image', version: '3.1.2'
      }
  }
  

• Create the local lib dir by copying the resolved files directly from the configurations.
  

  task refreshLocalLibs(dependsOn: 'deleteLocalLibs') << {
      ['fwdAllCompile', 'fwdAllRuntime'].each { cfg ->
          copy {
              from configurations.getByName(cfg).files
              into "${localLibs}/${cfg}" 
          }
      }
  }
  

Another version of build.gradle attached. I added the task fetchGradle which will fetch the Gradle distribution to the lib dir. This file will be used as the distribution url for the Gradle wrapper script during offline build.

To use the distribution on a fresh system without internet connectivity set the property distributionUrl in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to ../../lib/gradle-3.0-bin.zip.

I'm good with the changes.

I created task branch 4147a from version FWD 3.2.0 (trunk revision 11281). Checked in "Fix to allow locale definition to work on newer Linux versions (e.g. Ubuntu 18.04 and later). These changes also work on older Linux versions. Refs #3960." from task branch 4069a (revision 11333).

Also checked in the attached build.gradle and increased version in version.properties to 3.2.1.

With the changes during the release process, instead of calling createLocalRepo Gradle task call the tasks fetchDependencies and fetchGradle in this order. The dependencies will be fetched to the lib dir, zip this dir and use this as the dependencies archive.

To build on an offline system, set the property distributionUrl in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to ../../lib/gradle-3.0-bin.zip and use the --offline Gradle parameter.

I'll update the wiki doc. Btw., shouldn't we document the release process on the wiki, too?

With the new lib layout some jar files will be duplicated (cca 100 MB of duplicated size). Unfortunately zip doesn't allow a deduplication strategy, but other archive formats do. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27457326/compressing-a-folder-with-many-duplicated-files.

I've merged the build.gradle changes into 4069a revision 11434.

Hynek: Please review.

I'm trying to release v3.2.1 but the normal ./gradlew core does not populate lib/ with anything, that directory is empty. How do I capture it?

Use the tasks fetchDependencies and fetchGradle to populate the lib directory.

The merge is OK.

4147a was archived as merged.
