Is there any documentation anywhere about how to add an environment variable from a local.properties file into a buildscript with the gradle kotlin dsl? I can only find really old posts that don't seem to work anymore. For context, I'm trying to load a GPG user/pass/keyring into my buildscript for publishing a release version of my project to sonatype.. if anyone knows a better way to do this I am all ears.

[tapchicoma]

you can put your keys inside ~/.gradle/gradle.properties

[tapchicoma]

or use environment variables

[tapchicoma]

or use java.util.Properties to load local.properties and get keys

[Shan]

I am trying to input them via console from the example from the Gradle docs, will see how it goes

[tapchicoma]

then you can use -Pkey=some -Ppass=some-pass params to gradle task

[Shan]

ooh good idea, I will do that

[Shan]

That will work with the Gradle Signing plugin?

[tapchicoma]

is it to publish Gradle plugin?

[tapchicoma]

or you referring to maven-publish?

[Shan]

Maven-Publish

[tapchicoma]

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/signing_plugin.html#signing_plugin - this actually what maven-publish is using for signing.

So you can use -Psigning,keyId=<key_id> -Psigning.pasword=<password>
