Gradle copying and rename files - gradle

I have to write gradle task which will be copying files. Files are stored at tests/[Name]/test.txt and for each Name I want to create numbered directory /tested/test00/, /tested/test01/ etc. and in each catalog should be one file (test.txt from source folder renamed to test00, test01 etc.)
I have the code, but behavior is strange...
It creates correct directories /tested/test00 etc. but all files in each directory have the same name... test06. So number in directory is correct but in file name it isn't.
My code is:
int copyTaskIterator = 0
int testIterator = 0
...
sources.each { mySource ->
task "myCopyTask$copyTaskIterator"(type: Copy)
nameSuffix = String.format("%02d", testIterator)
fromPath = 'tests/'+mySource+'/test.txt'
toPath = "tested/test"+nameSuffix
tasks."myCopyTask$copyTaskIterator".from fromPath
tasks."myCopyTask$copyTaskIterator".into toPath
tasks."myCopyTask$copyTaskIterator".rename { fileName ->
fileName.replace '.txt', nameSuffix
}
preBuild.dependsOn tasks."myCopyTask$copyTaskIterator"
copyTaskIterator++
testIterator++
}

The problem is, that nameSuffix is evaluated too late. Sadly no documentation explains whether it is executed in execution time or not.
Just try to use rename(java.util.regex.Pattern, java.lang.String)
tasks."myCopyTask$copyTaskIterator".rename("\\.txt", nameSuffix)

How and why does gradle from("originPath") and into("targetPath") delete's files?

I have a gradle task, which takes one directory and copies it into another directory.
from({ framework.outputDirectory }) into(File("/Users/user/Desktop/"))
here is full gradle.kts task
val generateIOSArm64Framework by tasks.creating(Sync::class) {
group = "build"
val mode = System.getenv("CONFIGURATION") ?: "DEBUG"
val sdkName = System.getenv("SDK_NAME") ?: "iphonesimulator"
val targetName = "iosArm64"
val framework =
kotlin.targets.getByName<KotlinNativeTarget>(targetName).binaries.getFramework(mode)
inputs.property("mode", mode)
dependsOn(framework.linkTask)
from({ framework.outputDirectory })
into(File("/Users/user/Desktop/"))
}
I thought it will just copy's framework.outputDirectory into Desktop, but when I run that task it deleted all my files which were on Desktop (including some non backuped project). I can't restore those files.
Question: why gradle into delete's files? does it creates new folder every time and override's everything?
Your task is not of type Copy but of type Sync:
This task is like the Copy task, except the destination directory will only contain the files copied. All files that exist in the destination directory will be deleted before copying files, unless a preserve(Action) is specified.

Setting file permissions dynamically in a gradle Copy task

I'm trying to get around a problem where a dependency in my build is a zip file that contains some read only files. When I extract that zip as part of my build I end out with read only files in a staging folder and they prevent the task running in the future since they cannot be overwritten.
Until there's a way to force overwrite in a gradle copy task I've been trying to find a way to change the file mode of the read-only files in a way that doesn't remove the execute bit from those files that need it.
I've come up with this:
task stageZip(type: Copy) {
from({ zipTree(zipFile) })
into stagingFolder
eachFile {
println "${it.name}, oldMode: ${Integer.toOctalString(it.mode)}, newMode: ${Integer.toOctalString(it.mode | 0200)}"
fileMode it.mode | 0200
}
}
But this doesn't work. If I comment out the fileMode line then the println correctly lists the old and new file modes with the write bit enabled for all files. If I leave the code as is, then all the files in the zip get extracted with the newMode of the first file.
This doesn't seem like this is an unreasonable thing to try and do, but I'm obviously doing something wrong. Any suggestions?
Based on this thread, consider the Sync task. Specifically:
task stageZip(type: Sync) {
from zipTree('data/data.zip')
into 'staging'
fileMode 0644
}
I've put a working example (as I understand the question) here.
Here is a method that answers the question about file permissions. The example is posted to GitHub here.
First, consider a method to add w to a file:
import java.nio.file.*
import java.nio.file.attribute.PosixFilePermission
def addWritePerm = { file ->
println "TRACER adding 'w' to : " + file.absolutePath
def path = Paths.get(file.absolutePath)
def perms = Files.getPosixFilePermissions(path)
perms << PosixFilePermission.OWNER_WRITE
Files.setPosixFilePermissions(path, perms)
}
then, the Gradle task could be as follows:
project.ext.stagingFolder = 'staging'
project.ext.zipFile = 'data/data.zip'
task stageZip(type: Copy) {
from({ zipTree(project.ext.zipFile) })
into project.ext.stagingFolder
doLast {
new File(project.ext.stagingFolder).eachFileRecurse { def file ->
if (! file.canWrite()) {
addWritePerm(file)
}
}
}
}
eachFile {
file -> file.setMode(file.getMode() | 0200)
}
Worked for me in an rpm task which works with copyspec

Copy files under list of source directories to target directories using gradle

I need to copy files under the list of directories to its corresponding directories in destination list. Say I have a list of source directories like 'A','B','C' and a list of target directories like 'X','Y','Z'. What I need to do is to copy files under A directory to be copied to X directory and from B to Y and C to Z. I have created a gradle task for this purpose. But I get an error
task copyDirs( ) {
def targetDirList = ['/target1', '/target2', '/target3'].toArray()
def sourceDirList = ['/source1', '/source2', '/source3'].toArray()
[sourceDirList,targetDirList].transpose().each {
copy{
from it[0].toString()
into it[1].toString()
}
}
}
And below is the exception I get when I try to execute it
No signature of method: org.gradle.api.internal.file.copy.CopySpecWrapper_Decorated.getAt() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.Integer) values: [0]
Possible solutions: getAt(java.lang.String), putAt(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object), wait(), grep(), getClass(), wait(long)
It's because the it you're using is relating to the copy closure, not the values you're iterating through. Just name your element:
[sourceDirList,targetDirList].transpose().each { d ->
copy{
from d[0].toString()
into d[1].toString()
}
}

Issue with Gradle task to write file

I am developing an Android application where I have a directory of JSON files and I want to create a gradle task that will combine all these files into a single JSON file.
This is the gradle task I have so far but does not create the file:
// Task that combines all JSON files in ../libraries into src/main/res/raw/libraries.json
task combineJSonFiles {
String content = ""
FileTree tree = fileTree(dir: '../libraries', include: '**/*.json')
tree.each {File file ->
content += file.getText()
}
println "[" + content.substring(0, content.length()-1) + "]" // prints out the correct contents
File libraries = file("../app/src/main/res/raw/libraries.json")
println libraries.getProperties()
}
I print out the properties and I am not sure why these are the property values:
{directory=false, canonicalFile=/Users/michaelcarrano/AndroidStudioProjects/detective_droid/app/src/main/res/raw/libraries.json, file=false, freeSpace=0, canonicalPath=/Users/michaelcarrano/AndroidStudioProjects/detective_droid/app/src/main/res/raw/libraries.json, usableSpace=0, hidden=false, totalSpace=0, path=/Users/michaelcarrano/AndroidStudioProjects/detective_droid/app/src/main/res/raw/libraries.json, name=libraries.json, prefixLength=1, absolute=true, class=class java.io.File, parentFile=/Users/michaelcarrano/AndroidStudioProjects/detective_droid/app/src/main/res/raw, absolutePath=/Users/michaelcarrano/AndroidStudioProjects/detective_droid/app/src/main/res/raw/libraries.json, absoluteFile=/Users/michaelcarrano/AndroidStudioProjects/detective_droid/app/src/main/res/raw/libraries.json, parent=/Users/michaelcarrano/AndroidStudioProjects/detective_droid/app/src/main/res/raw}
Any help is appreciated as I have not seemed to figure this out even after reading the documentation. http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/working_with_files.html
I am just posting the code for the task that now works:
task combineJSonFiles {
String content = ""
FileTree tree = fileTree(dir: '../libraries', include: '**/*.json')
tree.each {File file ->
content += file.getText()
}
def libraries = new File("app/src/main/res/raw/libraries.json")
libraries.text = "[" + content.substring(0, content.length()-1) + "]"
}
My issue was trying to use Java.io.File and having the wrong directory path set for my file.
Creating an instance of java.io.File in Groovy/Java does not create the file on disk. You will need to write something to it. Check out this tutorial for working with files in Groovy.
Also you have put your task implementation in a task configuration block, rather than a task action. This means your code will not be running when you are expecting - it will run every time you run gradle rather than when you run this task. You need to put your code in a doLast block

copy tree with gradle and change structure?

Can gradle alter the structure of the tree while copying?
original
mod/a/src
mod/b/src
desired
dest/mod-a/source
dest/mod-b/source
dest/mod-c/source
I'm not sure where I should create a closure and override the copy tree logic
I'd like to do the gradle equivalent of ant's globmapper functionality
<property name="from.dir" location=".."/>
<property name="to.dir" location="dbutil"/>
<copy>
<fileset dir="${from.dir}" ... />
<globmapper from="${from.dir}/*/db" to="${to.dir}"/>
</copy>
Thanks

When changing file name, rename seems a good approach. When changing path you can override eachFile and modify the destination path.
This works pretty well.
copy {
from("${sourceDir}") {
include 'modules/**/**'
}
into(destDir)
eachFile {details ->
// Top Level Modules
def targetPath = rawPathToModulesPath(details.path)
details.path = targetPath
}
}
....
def rawPathToModulesPath(def path) {
// Standard case modules/name/src -> module-name/src
def modified=path.replaceAll('modules/([^/]+)/.*src/(java/)?(.*)', {"module-${it[1]}/src/${it[3]}"})
return modified
}
Please see sample below. Gradle 4.3 does not have rename/move methods, so we can do renaming on the fly.
What was happened:
Load file tree into the memory. I used zip file from dependencies in my example
Filter items, which are in the target folder
All result items will have the same prefix: if we filter files from directory "A/B/C/", then all files will be like "A/B/C/file.txt" or "A/B/C/D/file.txt". E.g. all of them will start with the same words
In the last statement eachFile we will change final name by cutting the directory prefix (e.g. we will cut "A/B/C").
Important: use type of task "Copy", which has optimizations for incremental compilation. Gradle will not do file copy if all of items below are true:
Input is the same (for my case - all dependencies of scope "nativeDependenciesScope") with previous build
Your function returned the same items with the previous build
Destination folder has the same file hashes, with the previous build
task copyNativeDependencies(type: Copy) {
includeEmptyDirs = false
def subfolderToUse = "win32Subfolder"
def nativePack = configurations.nativeDependenciesScope.singleFile // result - single dependency file
def nativeFiles = zipTree(nativePack).matching { include subfolderToUse + "/*" } // result - filtered file tree
from nativeFiles
into 'build/native_libs'
eachFile {
print(it.path)
// we filtered this folder above, e.g. all files will start from the same folder name
it.path = it.path.replaceFirst("$subfolderToUse/", "")
}
}
// and don't forget to link this task for something mandatory
test.dependsOn(copyNativeDependencies)
run.dependsOn(copyNativeDependencies)
The following works, but is there a more gradle-ish way to do this?
ant.copy(todir: destDir) {
fileset( dir: "${srcDir}/module", includes: '**/src/**')
regexpmapper(from: '^(.*)/src/(.*)$', to: /module-\1\/src\/\2/)
}
