hi gradle, as i noted in an earlier post, i think that gradle-support for building grails-apps would be a useful thing.
unfortunately i dont feel like the man to do a proper gradle-plugin for grails (this is mainly a matter of skills but also a matter of time). i also think, that regarding the future of the grails-build there are some basic decisions/moves to be made, that are solely in the responsibility of the grails-team. what could be done IMO from the gradle-perspective is a quick&dirty solution, that can be useful as long as grails doesnt come out with something better. my idea for this is a plugin, that wraps the existing gradle commands and adds the ability to resolve and publish artefacts. here a script-snippet, that tries to show what a mean with 'wrapping grails-commands': *** snip *** task clean() << { ant.exec(executable: getExecutable(), dir: "$projectDir", failonerror: 'true', failifexecutionfails: 'true') { arg(line: getArgLine('clean')) } } task war() << { ant.exec(executable: getExecutable(), dir: "$projectDir", failonerror: 'true', failifexecutionfails: 'true') { arg(line: getArgLine('war')) } } task test() << { ant.exec(executable: getExecutable(), dir: "$projectDir", failonerror: 'false', failifexecutionfails: 'true') { arg(line: getArgLine('test-app')) } } String getExecutable() { String executable if (windowsOrNot()) { executable = 'cmd' } else { // dann isses Unix executable = 'sh' } return executable } String getArgLine(String arg) { String argLine if (windowsOrNot()) { argLine = "/c grails.bat $arg" } else { // dann isses Unix argLine = "-l grails.sh $arg" } return argLine } boolean windowsOrNot() { return '\\'.equals(File.separator) } *** snap *** have a successful day -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/a-quick-and-dirty-wrapper-for-the-grails-build-tp24032743p24032743.html Sent from the gradle-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
