Can I add a custom repository to gradle.properties? - gradle

I'd like to be able to define a repository in settings (ideally user gradle.properties)
The end goal is something like this:
repositories {
mavenCentral() // Can't/don't want to use this
nexusCentral() // Can use these - on network Nexus server
nexusSnapshot()
}
How would I go about doing this? Again, this would go in the user-level gradle.properties file ideally, so we don't have to reference it in every single module.
This is just a plain maven style artifact repository provided by Maven, the manual way would be:
maven {
url "http://path/to/nexus"
}
One other requirement is the use of the "publish" task, which has credentials defined for a repository (that Jenkins uses to publish the module):
publishing {
...
maven {
url "http://path/to/nexus"
// Jenkins provides these as -P Gradle parameters.
credentials {
username = "${uploaderUser}"
password = "${uploaderPassword}"
}
}
These credentials would not be known to regular users, but would ideally be configured in Jenkin's gradle.properties. We wouldn't want users builds to fail because they can't resolve the credentials - they would never even use the "publish" task.

You can use somenthing like this:
maven {
credentials {
username getCredentialsMavenUsername()
password getCredentialsMavenPassword()
}
url 'xxxxx'
}
/**
* Returns the credential username used by Maven repository
* Set this value in your ~/.gradle/gradle.properties with CREDENTIALS_USERNAME key
* #return
*/
def getCredentialsMavenUsername() {
return hasProperty('CREDENTIALS_USERNAME') ? CREDENTIALS_USERNAME : ""
}
/**
* Returns the credential password used by Maven repository
* Set this value in your ~/.gradle/gradle.properties with CREDENTIALS_PASSWORD key
* #return
*/
def getCredentialsMavenPassword() {
return hasProperty('CREDENTIALS_PASSWORD') ? CREDENTIALS_PASSWORD : ""
}
If the user hasn't the credentials the script doesn't fail.

Not sure if that answers your question, but you can put this in the gradle.properties file:
nexusUrl=http://path/to/nexus
and do this in the build.gradle:
maven {
url project.property(nexusUrl)
}
EDIT:
regarding your credentials, all you should need is something like
if (project.hasProperty('uploaderUser') && project.hasProperty('uploaderPassword')) {
credentials {
username = project.property('uploaderUser')
password = project.property('uploaderPassword')
}
}

Solved this issue by replacing jcenter() in Project/andoird/build.gradle with maven { url 'http://nexusUrl' } under buildscript and allprojects:
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
maven { url 'http://nexusUrl' }
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
maven { url 'http://nexusUrl' }
}
}
and in fluttersdk/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/flutter.gradle replaced jcenter with maven { url 'http://nexusUrl' } under buildscript:
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
maven { url 'nexusUrl' }
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
}
}

Gradle common repositories for multi module project

I have below project setup for gradle scripts, but I would like to keep one single common repository file for both main and subprojects.
apply from : "$rootDir/gradle/repositories.gradle" does not work inside build.gradle for this purpose. It would work only if I declare repositories again inside build.gradle
**build.gradle**
--------------------------
{
repositories {
maven {
url "https://myprivate.repo.com/artifactory"
credentials {
username = "user1"
password = "psswd"
}
}
}
dependencies {
# some list of dependencies
}
}
**gradle/repositories.gradle**
-------------------------
repositories {
maven {
url "https://myprivate.repo.com/artifactory"
credentials {
username = "user1"
password = "psswd"
}
}
}
**subprojects.gradle**
--------------------------
subprojects {
apply from : "$rootDir/gradle/repositories.gradle"
}

How to provide credentials for global init.gradle pluginManagement for Gradle 5.6.2+?

After the recent security fixes in Gradle 5.6.2+, we're unable to use global plugin management in init.gradle script.
The section, which is described in the Gradle documentation does not provide any help about using Nexus server requiring authentication.
The workaround I've found is following: I had to manually hardcode credentials inside of the script even though the nexusUsername and nexusPassword is already defined in gradle.properties.
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
maven {
url "https://nexus-repo-requiring-auth/"
credentials {
username nexusUsername
password nexusPassword
}
}
}
settingsEvaluated { settings ->
settings.pluginManagement.repositories {
//This is a workaround, because the global properties are not available here
def localNexusUsername = "nexusUser1"
def localNexusPassword = "nexusPass1"
maven {
url "https://nexus-repo-requiring-auth/"
credentials {
username localNexusUsername
password localNexusPassword
}
}
}
}
Is there a way, how to read global variables inside of the settingsEvaluated block? Or any other way to define the plugin repository?
It's not a solution, but a different work-around. I found that if I defined my plugin repositories in the settings.gradle file it was able to read the variables:
pluginManagement {
repositories {
maven {
authentication {
basic(BasicAuthentication)
}
url "https://artifactory.redacted.com/gradle-plugins-mirror/"
credentials {
username "$artifactory_user"
password "$artifactory_password"
}
}
}
}
This worked better for me as we add the ~/.gradle/init.gradle file for each user, so everyone uses the same internal mirors.

Gradle - Conditionally add configuration

I have a gradle project with configuration below
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'maven'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
credentials {
username "$System.env.REPOSITORY_USER"
password "$System.env.REPOSITORY_PWD"
}
url "$System.env.REPOSITORY_HOME" + /nexus/content/groups/public/"
}
}
Ideally only the build server should know the repository username and password that has publish rights, everyone else should have read only access (the credentials block should not be applied). Is there a way I could conditionally add the credentials block based on if both REPOSITORY_USER and REPOSITORY_PWD is populated?
I'm open to better solutions if you have any suggestions!
Try to use something like this:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
if (System.env.REPOSITORY_USER != null && System.env.REPOSITORY_PWD != null) {
repositories {
maven {
// Setup here what you need
credentials {
}
}
}
}

Hide credentials for all projects in build.gradle

My private repo which is loaded from bintray used for all projects and needs credentials:
allprojects {
jcenter()
repositories {
maven {
url "http://myurl.bintray.com/sdk"
credentials {
username 'JohnDoe'
password 'somePassword'
}
}
}
}
What's the best way to hide them?
Is it possible without creating new instance of Properties?
Properties properties = new Properties()
properties.load(project.rootProject.file('local.properties').newDataInputStream())
One way to do it is to set properties in the user specific file $HOME/.gradle/gradle.properties:
thePassword=somePassword
and in the build.gradle file:
credentials {
username 'JohnDoe'
password thePassword
}
Repositories{
maven{
name='tomRepo'
url=''
credentials(PasswordCredentials)
}
}
run a command in the console like this
./gradlew build --refresh-dependecies -PtomsRepoUsername=aws -PtomRepoPassword=$TOMS_REPO_PASSWORD

Gradle global variable not in scope within buildscript

I have something like this in my top level build.gradle (Gradle 2.2)
ext.repo = "https://my-artifactory-repo"
buildscript {
repositories {
maven {
credentials {
username foo
password bar
}
url repo //doesn't work
}
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.14.1'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
maven {
credentials {
username foo
password bar
}
url repo //works
}
}
}
This is the error
Could not find property 'repo' on org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.repositories.DefaultMavenArtifactRepository_Decorated#718afa64.
So it works in allprojects but not buildscript.
You can define your variable as an extra property with ext in the buildscript {...}. This variable is then also accessible in the scope of allprojects {...}:
buildscript {
ext {
repo = "https://my-artifactory-repo"
}
repositories {
maven {
url repo // works
}
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
maven {
url repo // works
}
}
}
This is happening because the buildscript {...} configuration closure is always evaluated first, so the property is not yet defined. A workaround would be to define the property outside of the build script, either by placing it in a gradle.properties file or via the command line.
