Is there a way to change the artifact name for a module in a Gradle multi module project via Kotlin DSL?

[gildor]

Same as via Groovy

[gildor]

In general I don’t know any Gradle API or plugins API that cannot be confugured from Kotlin DSL, sometimes it’s not easy because of dynamic APIs or you should know what to configure: extension, convention or task

[napperley]

So something similar to this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24827804

[gildor]

Yes, just configure this extension. You can try, if you still have some problems share your example

Been looking through the maven-publish plugin documentation (https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_maven.html), and found a possible way to set the artifactId (via name property in the pom block). Unfortunately with the Kotlin DSL the name property is read only, where as with the Groovy DSL the property is writable 🙁 .

[gildor]

probably you need something like setName

[gildor]

check sources

[gildor]

Oh, it’s more tricky

[gildor]

publishing {
    (publications) {
        "mavenJava"(MavenPublication::class) {
            pom {
                withGroovyBuilder {
                    "name"("something")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

[gildor]

something like this

Check this sample from kotlin-dsl repo: https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/tree/201534f53d93660c273e09f768557220d33810a9/samples/maven-plugin

[gildor]

part about pom is very dynamic and based on groovy dynamic properties

[napperley]

Have something a bit different from what was posted:

publishing {
    publications {
        create("sources", MavenPublication::class.java) {
            from(components["java"])
            artifact(createSourceJar)
            pom {
                // Do things with pom here...
            }
        }
    }
    // ...
}

[gildor]

It’s actually the same

[gildor]

create("sources", MavenPublication::class.java) is just desugared version of sources"(MavenPublication::class)

[gildor]

again, I’m not sure how to set name, maybe publication name will be used, I just showed how to add field to POM, that’s why it can be available on groovy, but not on kotlin
