11/21/2018, 9:36 AMthe preferred way to store variables for versions is in buildSrc, but what if my buildSrc also requires variables? buildSrcBuildSrc/?
g
gildor
11/21/2018, 9:38 AMWhat is exactly requires variables,
buildSrc/build.gradlebuildSrc/srcb
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:38 AMversions,e.g. for spring boot to align all deps
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:39 AMimplementation(“org.springframework.bootspring boot starter actuator${Versions.springBootVersion}“)
g
gildor
11/21/2018, 9:39 AMand where do you have those dependencies? In
buildSrc/build.gradleb
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:39 AMin build.gradle.kts and buildSrc/build.gradle.kts
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:40 AMthe ones in buildSrc are basically for custom gradle tasks
g
gildor
11/21/2018, 9:40 AMThen the only way to move them to some external config, such as gradle.properties and read
b
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:41 AMnot a fan of that, I’d like to keep that on .gitignore because you can also configure stuff like java path
g
gildor
11/21/2018, 9:41 AMOr just define in
buildSrc/build.gradleVersionsgildor
11/21/2018, 9:41 AMjava path in Gradle config?
b
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:42 AMorg.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_45
org.gradle.jvmargs =-XX:MaxPermSize=64m
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:42 AMfor instance
g
gildor
11/21/2018, 9:42 AManyway, you always can have some custom config file
b
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:42 AMcan I just parse a JSON file?
g
gildor
11/21/2018, 9:42 AMAny config file
gildor
11/21/2018, 9:42 AMthat can be read by build script
b
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:43 AMis there a way to parse the file only once
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:43 AMand not on each access?
g
gildor
11/21/2018, 9:43 AMonce? Per Gradle run?
b
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:43 AMlike on gradle start parse it into a “global”?
g
gildor
11/21/2018, 9:44 AMYou can parse it in build script and try to pass some properties to code, but probably just read it second time is easier
b
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:45 AMhm, ok, thank you
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:45 AMsingleton I guess then
g
gildor
11/21/2018, 9:46 AMBut you cannot have singleton shared between your buildSrc/build.gradle and buildSrc/src/*
gildor
11/21/2018, 9:46 AMOf course you can cache result of parsing, but you problem, as I understand, that you need the same data in config and source files of buildSrc
b
Bernhard
11/21/2018, 9:53 AMright, but it would be fine if it was parsed twice
