what is the 'type' of the `publishing` plugin? e.g...

# gradle

what is the 'type' of the publishing plugin? e.g.

class PublishingPlugin : Plugin<Project> {
    override fun apply(project: Project): Unit = project.run {
        plugins.apply(org.gradle.api.publish.maven.plugins.MavenPublishPlugin::class)
        tasks.named("publishing") {
            // have task here, but not publishing task. what is the publishing task type?
            repositories {
                maven {
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

probably https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/publish/maven/tasks/PublishToMavenRepository.html

[octylFractal]

but note that's not the "publishing" task -- I think that task has no type, it's just a grouping task iirc

[snowe]

Nice! how'd you find that?

[snowe]

so I can find it easier next time.

[snowe]

yeah I noticed that publishing was a group.

[snowe]

but I didn't understand how to take the group and configure it in a plugin.

[octylFractal]

tasks in gradle are typically named similarly to their default project name

[octylFractal]

e.g. compileJava -> JavaCompile

[octylFractal]

in this case, publishToXRepository -> PublishToMavenRepository

[snowe]

ha, well I would have thought that would be publish lol

[snowe]

not the other versions of it.

[snowe]

well thanks!
