You can do

extra["FOO"] as String

in that context, and it will work, maybe give this a try? Although I do have an issue about it myself, as shown here regarding some verbosity.

Hey @Stylianos Gakis thanks! I actually figured it out.

providers.gradleProperty

looks up both `gradle.properties`(no matters local or global) and environment variables if value isn’t present in

gradle.properties

. However, you need to be careful about that environment variables must start with

ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT

prefix. That actually solved my problem

maven("url") {
    credentials {
        password = proviers.gradleProperty("MY_TOKEN").get() // will look up for MY_TOKEN in gradle.properties or ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_MY_TOKEN in env vars
    }
}

Aha very interesting! Only thing I imagine happening is that then I name something ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT and then later I’m like wtf, why did I do that, I undo it and then I start wondering why things break 😂 I think for my future self’s sake, I will probably avoid doing this in particular. Side note, .gradleProperty() returns a

Provider

, so I guess we have to do .getOrElse on it, which potentially makes my function even simpler since I can avoid doing .has(). So in the end it can all be just

providers.gradleProperty("KEY").getOrElse(System.getenv("KEY"))

and this way I also avoid the prefix. Sounds great tbh!

Yeah forgot to add

get()

function. I checked your post but still don’t understand how one can access to any

properties

file inside

settings.gradle

.

extra

won’t also help in this case. Did you find any solution or am I missing something

Yeah I don’t think you can access

project

in there. So in that case doing

providers.gradleProperty

as you suggested must be the solution.
