    here is my task: I want to generated set keystore password within a gradle task. Is this possible?

    a silly solution could to write credentials to a file and make signingConfig read from that file

    Hi, as i am trying to understand how the 
    runtimeClasspath
    works, i found something weird. we are on 
    8.11.1
    , and running this task on different projects yield weird results:
    Copy code
    tasks.register('printMyTestClasspath') {
    dependsOn 'testClasses'

    doLast {
        def classpathUrls = sourceSets.test.runtimeClasspath.files
        classpathUrls.each {
            if (!it.toString().contains(".gradle")) { // to exclude external dependencies
                println "classpath file: $it"
            }
        }
    }
}
    we have a setup where we have multiple builds depending on each other via 
    includeBuild
    . what's weird is that using the above task in show inconsistent results: • sometime the 
    main
    class directory is in there (
    build/classes/java/main
    ) and sometime the jar file is in there ( 
    build/libs/something-1.0.jar
    ) • similarly, this is the same for the included builds - i sometimes see the 
    classes/java/main
    of the dependency project, and sometimes i see the 
    jar
    • on repeated executions the results seem to stay the same. My questions are: • What could cause this? The 
    build.gradle
    files are very similar in our different builds, i did not find any indication of what could cause this difference (sure, i could be missing something.) • Is this a bug? Or something that has been fixed in later versions? • Are there any workarounds that I can use to get some consistency? I want to write tooling that loads the test classes with the class loader, and then checks stuff on them - but i am getting random errors, based on weather some projects classpath has the 
    jar
    or the 
    classes
    ...

    Is there a way to run a gradle task always when all the tasks finish? (to clean up) I'm thinking android studio but this is most probably generic question for gradle. If not, I'll ask in android channel.

    Are there any "popular" or big name library authors that self host their artifacts? (basically. not on maven central?) I'm trying to possibly self host (for reasons) and trying to see what the "industry standard" is in terms of hosting the artifacts, but also how the documentation states the inclusion of the artifact repository.

    Do the checksums in the Gradle Module Metadata file get used for anything? I read this issue, which I think implies Gradle doesn't use them at all.

    What steps does maven take to search for artifact files. For example, it seems like it searches for a module file, then pom, then jar or aar? My quesiton stems from the fact that I've noticed that a lot of 3rd party artifact repository don't present you with an html tree to browse, so it looks like it's a guess and check sort of system.

    Is there any way to tell Gradle to pin worker threads to only use CPU performance cores (I'm using an i9 12900k)? I'm curious if the faster throughput will offset the lower parallelism enough to make it worth it. I have some tasks that use 100% of all CPU cores, and I sometimes like to do other things while building (which should be fine using the efficiency cores).

    I've got an android app module's build.gradle file that is using a modern plugin block with alias' for everything EXCEPT for 
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.parcelize")
    . I converted it to an entry in my toml, and converted it to 
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.parcelize)
    in my build file. but now it wont build UNLESS I go to root build.gradle and add ``alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.parcelize) apply false` ` Why is that needed when using version catalog... but when I just used 
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.parcelize")
    it did not need the extra line in my root build.gradle (bonus points: how did it even work with id if I never declared the version of the plugin I wanted until i now had to add it in version catalog declaration)

    I'm looking to better isolate the Gradle user home in tests. Say I work on a Gradle plugin, and I want to test it with TestKit. I want the test to be reliable in CICD, so I don't want it to be polluted with my real 
    ~/.gradle
    . What I currently do is to populate 
    build/gradle
    with what I need, namely 
    gradle.properties
    , some 
    init.d/
    scripts, and I point TestKit there with 
    withTestKitDir()
    . This is mostly ok, except that the various Gradle distributions are downloaded in such test user home directories. This is annoying because it's slow the first time around, and also because these directories are not getting cleaned up. E.g. in 1 project after playing with only 9.2.0 and 9.2.1, I have almost 2GB of mostly generated Gradle jars and transforms. Is there a way to improve this? So basically, I don't care to isolate the Gradle artifacts and transforms from my primary Gradle user home, but I definitely want my user home properties and init scripts not to be visible in tests. Is there some way to achieve properties/init script isolation while also avoiding cache duplication?

    Hi, we have a bunch of composite builds in our repository, and want to set up the gradle cache to make them faster. when we run our PR checks, each project runs the same build cache setup logic. since establishing the environment where we run (is it on CI? is it on desktop? is it in a docker container? which branch is it? etc.. ) can take some time, i am looking into options on how to just do just once, and not run those checks for every project... now it seems that i can calculate what i need, and store it with 
    System.setProperty
    - and if i do, every other project can just check if the property is set, and if it is, use it, and not do the calculations. this actually works, the checks run only once, yay. however this solution feels a bit hacky, as it is kind of circumventing gradle to pass along the information. the question is, are there some alternatives that are better for this use case? we are currently using 
    8.11.1
    - is this solution still going to be viable in later releases?

    I am confused about publishing version catalogs. The preliminary example given has. I am kind of assuming that we only need to use the 
    catalog {...]
    for publishing one?
    Copy code
    catalog {
    // declare the aliases, bundles and versions in this block
    versionCatalog {
        library("my-lib", "com.mycompany:mylib:1.2")
    }
}
    but then says we "The catalog must be created programmatically, see Programming catalogs for details." which uses the format
    Copy code
    dependencyResolutionManagement {
    versionCatalogs {
        create("libs") {
            version("groovy", "3.0.5")
            version("checkstyle", "8.37")
            library("groovy-core", "org.codehaus.groovy", "groovy").versionRef("groovy")
            library("groovy-json", "org.codehaus.groovy", "groovy-json").versionRef("groovy")
            library("groovy-nio", "org.codehaus.groovy", "groovy-nio").versionRef("groovy")
            library("commons-lang3", "org.apache.commons", "commons-lang3").version {
                strictly("[3.8, 4.0[")
                prefer("3.9")
            }

    I vaguely remember there being a way to assign to a Property<String> with = in kotlin build scripts, but now can't find anything about that and gradle seems to be rejecting it with 
    [ASSIGNMENT_TYPE_MISMATCH] Assignment type mismatch: actual type is 'String', but 'Property<String>' was expected.
    Is prop.set the only way to do this in current gradle versions?

    nexus started limiting requests count (https://help.sonatype.com/en/sonatype-nexus-repository-3-87-0-release-notes.html) and in the same time they count incorret credentials requests (https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-public/issues/736), in my case i see that gradle is not failing and sending thousands of requests to private nexus after password change. So how to tell gradle to fail on first wrong credential request? It silently ignore it and continue build. (not just add task that will do HEAD request on each build first and not post dependency resolution).

    I have a vague memory from reading gradle docs that convention plugins (defined as 
    .kt
    files in a 
    buildSrc/
    -type location, exposed to consuming builds) are preferred over binary plugins (defined as 
    .gradle
    files in that same consuming build) for performance reasons, but I'm not able to find those references in those docs now - does my memory serve me correctly here?
