How to make a Gradle project versioneye-friendly? - gradle

Question

I have a Gradle project that I want to import to Versioneye to check if my dependencies are up to date, but it's a complex config file (with external variables etc.) and Versioneye does not manage to handle the dependencies properly.
I don't want to install the Versioneye gradle plugin.
How can I export the dependencies from my repo to Versioneye?

Answer 1

You can list all the dependencies gradle app:dependencies.
With a bit of string manipulation, you can export a "clean" dependencies file and manually upload it to Versioneye.
#!/bin/bash
OUT_DIR='versioneye'
OUT_FILE="${OUT_DIR}/build.gradle"
mkdir -p "${OUT_DIR}"
touch "${OUT_FILE}"
# copy your maven repositories closure below from build.gradle
tee "${OUT_FILE}" <<EOF >/dev/null
allprojects {
repositories {
maven {
url 'https://maven.google.com/maven-google-remote'
}
maven {
url "https://jitpack.io"
}
}
}
EOF
echo 'dependencies {' >> "${OUT_FILE}"
./gradlew app:dependencies | grep '^+---' | sed 's|+--- |compile "|' | sed 's| (\*)||g' | sed 's|$|"|' | sort -u >> "${OUT_FILE}"
echo '}' >> "${OUT_FILE}"
cat "${OUT_FILE}"
cd "${OUT_DIR}"
start .
cd -
echo 'Now, open versioneye.com and manually upload the genreated build.gradle file.'
This will generate a file that looks like this:
allprojects {
repositories {
maven {
url 'https://maven.google.com/maven-google-remote'
}
maven {
url "https://jitpack.io"
}
...
}
}
dependencies {
compile "com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.2.2"
compile "com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2"
compile "com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-intents:2.2.2"
compile "com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.17.0"
compile "com.facebook.fresco:fresco:1.5.0"
compile "com.facebook.fresco:imagepipeline-okhttp3:1.5.0"
...
}
This file can be imported to Versioneye with a file upload and will be processed correctly.
