Is it not possible to use kotlin in an
init.gradle
script? I'm trying to reference a property using
by project
but I get the error message
Line 1: val ptSnapshotsReaderPassword: String by project
                                                   ^ Function invocation 'project(...)' expected

your script should be named
*.init.gradle.kts
to use the Gradle Kotlin DSL
s

snowe

04/26/2019, 8:13 PM
it is.
wait.
*.
?
it's named
init.gradle.kts
e

eskatos

The important part for it to work from the command line is the
.gradle.kts
extension
Naming it
*.init.gradle.kts
will make the IDEs understand that it is an “initialization script” and provide you with the right set of APIs
ah, I see, it’s already named
*.gradle.kts
... I got confused because your original message says the file is named
init.gradle
s

snowe

04/26/2019, 8:27 PM
oh, i think the name is an
init.gradle
script. or initialization script.
yes I have it named properly.
I've used kotlin gradle scripts many many times before.
just trying to convert my
init.gradle
to
init.gradle.kts
and am getting the above errors.

project
is not available in an init script, an init script is evaluated against the
Gradle
instance, the available api is not
Project
See https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/init_scripts.html

snowe

04/26/2019, 8:29 PM
yes, I realize that. but
~/.gradle/gradle.properties
is not a project level properties.
it's a gradle property.
it references perfectly fine when it's an
init.gradle
file, but not when I change it to kotlin
Oh I see the confusion. it's because I'm using
by project
. I'm really asking how to retrieve the properties from
~/.gradle/gradle.properties
within an
init.gradle.kts
file. I don't really care how it's done.

Groovy grabs the property value by reflection
You can use
by settings
or
by project
in an init script but you need to do that in a block that provides access to settings/project
gradle.settingsEvaluated {
    val myProperty: String? by settings
    println("From settings $myProperty")
}

gradle.rootProject {
    val myProperty: String? by project
    println("From root project $myProperty")
}

fantastic!
that seems to work.
settingsEvaluated {
    val ptSnapshotsReaderPassword: String? by settings
    settings.pluginManagement {
        repositories {
            // if (findProperty("mavenLocal") != null) { mavenLocal() }
            gradlePluginPortal()
            jcenter()
            maven {
                credentials {
                    username = "pt-snapshots-reader"
                    password = ptSnapshotsReaderPassword
                }
            }
        }
        resolutionStrategy {
            eachPlugin {
                if (requested.id.namespace == "net.researchgate") {
                    useModule("net.researchgate:gradle-release:3.0.0-RC3")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
now I need to figure out how to get the
findProperty
block to work...
e

eskatos

04/26/2019, 8:38 PM
you can simplify
settings.pluginManagement {
to just
pluginManagement {
s

snowe

04/26/2019, 8:40 PM
yes, I wanted to be explicit (since this is converting from gradle), it looks closest if I use
settings
.

eskatos

04/26/2019, 8:40 PM
ymmv 🙂

snowe

04/26/2019, 8:40 PM
ha, final solution
settingsEvaluated {
    val ptSnapshotsReaderPassword: String? by settings
    val mavenLocal: Boolean? by settings
    pluginManagement {
        repositories {
            if (mavenLocal != null) { mavenLocal() } 
            gradlePluginPortal()
            jcenter()
            maven {
                credentials {
                    username = "pt-snapshots-reader"
                    password = ptSnapshotsReaderPassword
                }
                url = uri("")
            }
        }
        resolutionStrategy {
            eachPlugin {
                if (requested.id.namespace == "net.researchgate") {
                    useModule("net.researchgate:gradle-release:3.0.0-RC3")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
