Gradle: Modifying contents of a property file inside a jar file - gradle

There a is config.properties file in the project.jar file.
I need to modify one of the property in this file without extracting the jar file. How to do this and is it safe to do this ,since we are modifying Jar?
Code I tried is:
def configProperties = new Properties()
def configPropFile = projectJar + '/config.properties'
configProperties.load(configPropFile)
configProperties.setProperty('versions', '1.7)
configProperties.store(configPropFile.newWriter(), null)
This gives me exception:
Execution failed for task 'changeProp'.
> No signature of method: java.util.Properties.load() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [/com/codebase/project/config.properties]
Possible solutions: load(java.io.InputStream), load(java.io.Reader), clear(), clone(), sort(), find()
Also tried:
configProperties.load(ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(configPropFile))
This gives me exception:
> Ambiguous method overloading for method java.util.Properties#load.
Cannot resolve which method to invoke for [null] due to overlapping prototypes between:
[class java.io.InputStream]
[class java.io.Reader]
I am new to gradle, Can some one help me with this?

Gradle script: Classcast Exception in ant.copy task

I have a Gradle script in which I need to copy a bunch of files from srcPath to tgtPath while specifying include and exclude patterns.
Normaly I would do this with Gradle's built-in copy task but here I also need to convert the character encoding while doing so. I thus am trying to use the ant.copy method because it supports "encoding" and "outputEncoding" arguments, which are supposed to support exactly such conversions.
So I defined me a method as follows:
private void copy(String srcPath, String tgtPath, includePatterns = ['**/*'], excludePatterns = []) {
println "copying from '${srcPath}' to '${tgtPath}' (incl:'${includePatterns}' / excl:'${excludePatterns}'):"
new AntBuilder().copy(todir: tgtPath,
encoding: StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1,
outputEncoding: StandardCharsets.UTF_8) {
fileset(dir: srcPath,
includes: includePatterns,
excludes: excludePatterns)
}
}
When I execute this as part of my Gradle build (actually within a .groovy file which is why I am using "new AntBuilder.copy(...)" here instead of just "ant.copy(...)" I get the following exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeAwareParserConfiguration cannot be cast to org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration
??? What has this to do with XML-parsing? I don't understand at all why I am getting this error.
I only found a couple of examples but no real documentation on how to use this method from Groovy. Ant's documentation claims that "includes" and "excludes" accepts lists of arguments which is what I am passing here. Any idea, what am I doing wrong here or why this doesn't work?
Or any other suggestion on how to convert character encodings while copying files over in Gradle?
I suggest that you use Gradle's built in ant integration.
Eg:
project.ant.copy(todir: tgtPath,
encoding: StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1,
outputEncoding: StandardCharsets.UTF_8) {
fileset(dir: srcPath,
includes: includePatterns,
excludes: excludePatterns)
}

Jenkins: java.io.NotSerializableException: groovy.util.slurpersupport.NodeChild

I have code that reads in a pom.xml file then attempts to re-serialize and write it back out:
// Get the file raw text
def pomXMLText = readFile(pomFile)
// Parse the pom.xml file
def project = new XmlSlurper(false, false).parseText(pomXMLText)
... do some useful stuff ...
def pomFileOut = "$WORKSPACE/pomtest.xml"
def pomXMLTextOut = groovy.xml.XmlUtil.serialize(project)
println "pomXMLTextOut = $pomXMLTextOut" // <-- This line prints to updated XML
writeFile file: pomFileOut, text: pomXMLTextOut // <-- This line crashes with the error listed in the posting title: java.io.NotSerializableException: groovy.util.slurpersupport.NodeChild
I've tried casting the pomXMLTextOut variable to a String. I tried applying the .text() method, which gets a jenkins sandbox security error. Has anyone else been able to successfully write an XML file from a groovy script running in a Jenkins pipeline?
BTW, I've also tried using a File object, but that isn't remotable across jenkins nodes. It works as long as the job always runs on master.
You could try a #NonCPS annotation and close those non-serializable objects in a funcation like this
#NonCPS
def writeToFile(String text) {
...
}
Here's the explanation from Pipeline groovy plugin
#NonCPS methods may safely use non-Serializable objects as local
variables

Is it possible to override gradle from prompting error because ("." and "-") in the name of a variable? eg; name.dir (.dir not found) in task

The error message:
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'telescope-master'.
> Cannot get property 'dir' on null object
gradle.properties file
classes.dir = WebContent/WEB-INF/classes
webContent.dir = WebContent
template.dir = hdm/template
javascript.dir = hdm/function
javascript4.0.2.dir = hdm/function/4.0.2
datamodel.dir = hdm/datamodel
certificate.dir = certificate
build.gradle file
Properties extFile = new Properties()
extFile.load(new FileInputStream('gradle.properties'))
task FirmwareMatch(type: Zip) {
from ("${extFile.javascript.dir}")
include 'factoryResetOnFirmwareMatch.*'
archiveName 'factoryResetOnFirmwareMatch.zip'
destinationDir file('dist/hdm/function')
}
So basically if I remove the "." from .dir on both files it would work. But is there any way to over ride it?
Also how can I display actual date when using ${TODAY} in gradle.
So your problematic expression is:
extFile.javascript.dir
If we break that into how Groovy will interpret it:
extFile.getProperty('javascript').getProperty('dir')
You want Groovy to interpret it as:
extFile.getProperty('javascript.dir')
Besides directly calling getProperty, here are a couple Groovy options:
extFile.'javascript.dir'
extFile['javascript.dir']
Additionally, assuming your gradle.properties file is either in your project root (generally as a sibling to the build.gradle) or in your GRADLE_HOME directory (i.e. ~/.gradle/gradle.properties) it will be automatically loaded by Gradle and all properties available as project properties.
So you can remove all of your properties parsing code and just do the following:
project.getProperty('javascript.dir')
// or
project.'javascript.dir'
// or
project['javascript.dir']
If you want to protect against those properties not being set, and are on Gradle 2.13 or higher, you can use findProperty instead of getProperty which will return null instead of throwing an exception.

Gradle : how can I call a 'def' from an imported script?

I am currently modularizing our gradle build in order to have a libs/commons.gradle file containing a lot of global stuff. I need this because of various branches of the software beeing developed in parallel and we'd like to avoid to spread every scriptfile change among all branches.
So I created that lib file and used "apply from" to load it :
apply from: 'gradle/glib/commons.gradle'
Inside commons.gradle I define the svnrevision function :
...
def svnRevision = {
ISVNOptions options = SVNWCUtil.createDefaultOptions(true);
SVNClientManager clientManager = SVNClientManager.newInstance(options);
SVNStatusClient statusClient = clientManager.getStatusClient();
SVNStatus status = statusClient.doStatus(projectDir, false);
SVNRevision revision = status.getCommittedRevision();
return revision.getNumber().toString();
}
...
I am calling the function from my including build.gradle:
...
task writeVersionProperties {
File f = new File(project.webAppDirName+'/WEB-INF/version.properties');
if (f.exists()) { f.delete(); }
f = new File(project.webAppDirName+'/WEB-INF/version.properties');
FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(f);
os.write(("version="+svnRevision()).getBytes());
os.flush();
os.close();
}
...
But I end up in :
...
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build $PATH_TO/build20.gradle
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'DEV_7.X.X_GRADLEZATION'.
> Could not find method svnRevision() for arguments [] on root project 'DEV_7.X.X_GRADLEZATION'.
...
So my queston is : How can I call a subfunction in gradle, which is defined in an included script?
Any help appreciated!
From http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/writing_build_scripts.html:
13.4.1. Local variables
Local variables are declared with the def keyword. They are only
visible in the scope where they have been declared. Local variables
are a feature of the underlying Groovy language.
13.4.2. Extra properties
All enhanced objects in Gradle's domain model can hold extra
user-defined properties. This includes, but is not limited to,
projects, tasks, and source sets. Extra properties can be added, read
and set via the owning object's ext property. Alternatively, an ext
block can be used to add multiple properties at once.
If you declare it as:
ext.svnRevision = {
...
}
and don't change the call, I expect it will work.

Acceleo java wrapping service doesn't take complex parameter - Invalid result for expression self.invoke

I can't call a java wrapping service in Acceleo because it doesn't recognize parameters type. This is my simple test code: the main calls a query stored in Services.mtl, that calls the java service that just return the name of an object "Send"
Main.mtl
[file ('system.P', false, 'UTF-8')]
[for (t : Send | aSystemBehavior.transitions)) ]
[getName(t)/]
[/for]
[/file]
Services.mtl
[query public getName(arg0 : Send) : String
= invoke('myPackage.Services', 'getName(myPackage.Send)', Sequence{arg0})
/]
Services.java
public class Services
{
public String getName(Send t)
{return t.getName();}
}
The Error Log shows:
Invalid result for expression
self.invoke('myPakage.Services',
'getName(myPakage.Send)', Sequence {arg0}) at line 0 in
Module services for query getName(Send). Last recorded value of self
was org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.DynamicEObjectImpl#1f00eb36 (eClass:
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl#2c2aade3 (name: Send)
(instanceClassName: null) (abstract: false, interface: false)).
Problem found while generating the file system.P'.
If I use a String as parameter type instead of Send, everything works fine.
Does the package containing the service "Services" has been exported? If not, open the file MANIFEST.MF, go in the runtime tab and add its package to the list of exported packages. Are you sure that your "Send" object has a name? This message only indicates that null was returned by the query getName.
I don't have anymore this problem... I created a new Acceleo project from scratch, and it works. I am not sure what was the problem... maybe it's something about che choice of metamodels to import during the creation of the Module (I have to choose between run-tim and develop-time metamodel).
