How can I rewrite this snippet using the Kotlin DSL?

test {
   onOutput { descriptor, event ->
       if (event.destination == TestOutputEvent.Destination.StdErr) {
           logger.error("Test: " + descriptor + ", error: " + event.message)
       }
   }
}

I'm struggling on

onOuput

. I guess it's something like

onOutput(closureOf<???> {})

but I don't know what the type is.

Hello again! I've been writing Gradle plugins for a few months now, but I've been relying on manually looking up JavaDocs online for anything in Gradle as IntelliJ is not downloading (or using?) the sources for the Gradle API. Is there any way I can fix that? Or do I just have to cope with using the online JavaDocs for now?

hi, i'd like to be able to reduce boilerplate for our

JavaExec

tasks by presetting some properties like system properties, env properties, classpath, etc, and i am wondering what's the best way for for it would be. these values need to be different based on which environment we want to run in. i have come up with something like this:

abstract class ExecInStaging : JavaExec() {
    init {
        systemProperty("appconfig", "config/staging.properties")
        systemProperty("log4j.configurationFile", "log4j2-local.xml")

        environment("CONSUL_HOST", STAGING_CONSUL)

        classpath = project.extensions
            .getByType<JavaPluginExtension>()
            .sourceSets
            .getByName("main")
            .runtimeClasspath
    }
}

this works - but i am wondering if there are some best practices around this that i am missing? doing all this configuration in the constructor feels a bit weird - especially since now i am getting a bunch of IDE warnings due to

Calling non-final function {} in constructor

... is there a better way to do this?

How can you get the parent directory of a RegularFile as a Directory? Compared to Directory, RegularFile can do "nothing" except calling getAsFile.

Can anyone think of a clever mechanism by which I can retrieve the maven snapshot version (timestamp & build number) of an artifact that was published by the build?

I have a Kotlin/JVM application. I want to pass a lazily system property in using CommandLineArgumentProvider. But for some reason the property doesn't get set correctly and it's not accessible in the application. Properties set using

systemProperty("...", "...")

work, but these are eager and I want to avoid them. Weirdly when I print all properties in the application they appear under a different property -

sun.java.command=org.example.AppKt -DsecretFile=/Users/dev/my-project/secret-file

. I think it's weird there's an inconsistency. I would expect both approaches to work the same. Also, I think it's weird that logging

commandLine

returns a

null

as the first element:

[:run] running task [null, -DsecretFile=/Users/dev/my-project/secret-file]

plugins {
  kotlin("jvm") version "2.1.20"
  application
}

tasks.run.configure {
  val secretFile = layout.projectDirectory.file("secret-file")
  inputs.file(secretFile)

  argumentProviders += CommandLineArgumentProvider {
    listOf("-DsecretFile=${secretFile.asFile.absoluteFile.invariantSeparatorsPath}")
  }
  systemProperty("secretFileWorks", secretFile.asFile.absoluteFile.invariantSeparatorsPath)
  doFirst {
    println("[$path] running task $commandLine")
  }
}

Gradle version is 8.13

I have an init script to apply a project plugin with

lifecycle.afterProject

. But the project does not find the plugin this way, but it finds the plugin if I apply it directly in my build.gradle.kts script.

Hi I have a react native app that I'm trying to create an apk for but i get this error

when i try to compile my plugin with build.gradle.kts this error comes how do i fix it?

Why is it version

8.13

and not

8.13.0

? Gets me every time 😅

Is there a way to add a child CopySpec to AbstractArchiveTask conditionally and lazily? I.e.

if (someCondition) { into(...) { ... } }

but where someCondition is a boolean Property?

so, I'm playing with variants (for native libraries) and I'm looking into re-publishing some libraries under new coordinates it works fine for a single artifact with multiple variants, but I'm wondering if I could combine multiple artifacts: ie:

org.jogamp.gluegen:gluegen-rt

,

org.jogamp.joal:joal

, etc code here, I can work around for the configurations and the publications, but the

javaComponent

is a problem, or does anyone see a way?

Hello guys. How are you? I am using gradle on macOS. I am getting this error. How can I fix it? The libzip.dylib file exists in the folder correctly.

% ./gradle
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not resolve "ZIP_Open": /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/libzip.dylib

Is it expected to still see

java.lang.System::load

warnings with Gradle 8.14 and Java 24? I would think not because of #31625, but not sure. Never mind, Renovate didn't run the wrapper task correctly (message below is still relevant though).

I'm seeing lots of these errors coming from multiple libraries after updating to Java 24. Is the correct solution to add

--enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED

to my jvm args until all of these libraries/tools migrate off of JNI (so probably never)?

WARNING: A restricted method in java.lang.System has been called

Does anyone know about a Gradle plugin that allows to embed metadata about Java / Kotlin resources into the compiled JAR? For example, I'd like to get the source code path (relative to the repository root) of a resource at runtime of the application.

I've tried installing Gradle a few times already following different tutorials and I follow every step but then when it gets to the cmd part I type "gradle --version" and it gives me the same error every time "Error: -classpath requires class path specification", I really don't know what to do, I've tried at least 5 different tutorials went so far to even ask AI and I still don't know what to do. Can someone please help me?

I wonder, what is the current way to go for

ConfigurableFileCollection

vs

ListProperty<RegularFile>

Is there anything like “prefer

ConfigurableFileCollection

in newer code” or “prefer

ListProperty<RegularFile>

in newer code” ? I assume the answer should be the same for both task properties and extension properties, however, it would be great to learn if there’s a difference.

I've locally re-published jogl glugen library under new coordinates keeping the main artifact as

org.jogamp.gluegen:gluegen-rt

and the natives as variants now I'm on the consumer side, with a test project, expanding the runtime configuration for each variant, adding the corresponding file underneath, but Gradle complains:

Could not resolve org.jogamp.gluegen:gluegen-rt:0.0.8 for variant-tester:main
Could not resolve org.jogamp.gluegen:gluegen-rt:0.0.8 for variant-tester:test

I have some issues about gradle on my project. Can anyone help me to solve it

is there any way to make this Gradle task cacheable?

tasks.register("updateModuleCapabilitiesIndex") {
    val watchFiles = fileTree(project.rootDir) {
        include("**/build.gradle", "**/build.gradle.kts")
    }.files
    val moduleIndexFile = "${layout.buildDirectory.get()}/moduleCapabilities.json"
    val moduleIndexCmdLine = listOf(
        "./gradlew",
        "...",
    )
    inputs.files(watchFiles)
    doLast {
        providers.exec {
            commandLine = moduleIndexCmdLine
        }
    }
    dependsOn("build")
}

Command removed for simplification, but I'm trying to write something that parses the gradle files and then saves the info into another file in a cacheable way. The doLast{...} bit unfortunately contains a gradle script which is not serializable... Tried to search in this slack but configuration cache gets a lot of unrelated hits 😂

Why is my Gradle plugin causing

Circular dependency between the following tasks:

work action Dependencies for XXXXXX

? Looks like the transform action depends on each other? The image is the cycle shows in debugger. Looks like the states of different transform is looping. How can I avoid that? https://github.com/SettingDust/cloche/blob/feature/extract-includes/src/main/kotlin/earth/terrarium/cloche/target/TargetCompilation.kt#L122-L148

hey guys how to solve this problem ? This is a Kotlin multiplatform Project when i download it from KMP wizard and open it from Android studio gradle sync is faild why is it ??????

I used to have a task to create an aggregated test report from all test suite types, described here It seems that since 8.13, the concept of test suite types has been removed. Is it correct that test suites can only be aggregated per test suite name now?

Is it possible to change the version of Groovydoc that Gradle runs when you run the groovydoc task?

I think so
