Hi! I am using Gradle 7.6. I have a tasks for creating a shadowJar

withType<ShadowJar> {
    archiveFileName.set("app.jar")
    manifest {
        attributes["Main-Class"] = "no.nav.sokos.prosjektnavn.BootstrapKt"
    }
}

But it appears two jars? One with app.jar and one with name of the project projectName.jar , why two jars?
If i remove archiveFileName.set("app.jar") the i get projectName.jar and projectName-all.jar . How can I make my Gradle config so I only have one jar with name app.jar ?

Isn't you asked the similar question here? 🤔

[mudasar187]

Yes i did. But now I have same issue again. Because using

withType<Jar> {
    isEnabled = false
}

There is no libs folder when it have built the project. Means no jars at all.

[mudasar187]

withType().named("jar") {
    enabled = false
}

This above solution is working. But below solution this not working? 🤔

withType<Jar> {
    isEnabled = false
}

Why?

The shadow jar task is also a task of type Jar.
So if you set isEnabled = false for all tasks of type Jar you also disable the fat jar building.
With named("jar") you configure only exactly that task named jar.

When i asked this question earlier it worked with the solution i got earlier. But after upgrading jvm to newest version I needed to change how to disable the task named jar 🙂
