or support for signing configs about gradle-build-properties-plugin HOT 7 CLOSED

I found a local solution like below to this situation:
https://github.com/tasomaniac/OpenLinkWith/blob/master/app/build.gradle#L9

I basically check if the file exists. If not I am putting a different debug signing properties.

from gradle-build-properties-plugin.

Here is how I did on my personal project:

def signingFile = file('props/release.signing')
buildProperties {
    signing.file signingFile.exists() ? signingFile : file('props/debug.signing')
}

What if you override the default method with void file(File[] files, String errorMessage = null) so the fallback is transparent to the main use case?

File level there are multiple ways of doing it and that would mostly be easy. It could also be vararg of File s.

I actually tried doing it. But I realized that it may not be parallel with the plugins intention. I think it make sense to assign 1 file to 1 object.

With or on the entity you can get the value from different objects anyways.

What do you think @mr-archano

To be honest I'm not sure about the whole support of signing config: it's a little bit flawed in the way files are resolved as relative paths to the properties file and (most annoying to me) it will work only iff the file will comply to the given structure, that makes things a little bit fragile.

That said I'll think about it and let you know soon(ish). We can catch up about this IRL if you prefer.

Thanks for the interest tho! 👍

I agree. Also we have getParentFile in Entries object. Entries doesn't really need to know about files. It is only used for signing configuration support to access to the path to resolve the keystore full file path.

We haven't fully decided whether the signing config support will be removed. In the meantime I'm closing this issue because we agreed that or support for signing config is out of scope (but easily scriptable if needed).
