OK, here is a way to do it:
In your build.gradle do:
def configFileName = ...
new GroovyShell(new Binding(project:project)).evaluate(new
File(configFileName))
Your config file would look like this:
...
// add static project properties, e.g.
project.myProperty = ...
// set up project and tasks, e.g.
project.dependencies {
// add resolvers...
...
}
project.createTask(...)
...
// configurations that are dependent on the task graph, e.g.
project.init.doFirst { task, dag ->
// configure compile tasks
project.getTasks().each { myTaskName, myTask ->
if (myTask instanceof Compile) {
((Compile) myTask).configure {
// this should be set by default, but is not (bug?)
conventionMapping(DefaultConventionsToPropertiesMapping.COMPILE)
}
}
}
...
}
One special case are helper functions, you want to define.
You can add them as closure properties to the project, e.g. in your config
file:
project.helperFct = this.&helperFct
String helperFct(String param1, int param2 = 3) {
...
}
In your build.gradle you have to put the closure into a local variable:
// the following does not work
// project.helperFct(...)
// nor does this:
// helperFct(...)
// this would work, but it's not nice
// project.helperFct.call(...)
// so copy the closure to a local variable
def helperFct = project.helperFct // or even: def helperFct = helperFct
// now you can call it like a function
helperFct('a', 1)
helperFct('b')
Maybe we could add a method to the Project:
void include(String filename) {
new GroovyShell(new Binding(project:project)).evaluate(new
File(filename))
}
