Re: [gradle-user] execute permissions in Tar

OK, thanks.

I guess I am surprised that the tar task does not keep the file's
existing permissions. Seems weird that you have to specify it in the
tar task instead of in the task that actually creates the file.

  

Absolutely. Currently we use Ant's tar task under the covers, which does 
not preserve permissions. We plan at some point to replace this with an 
implementation which does.

I put an issue in jira for this:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRADLE-673

thanks,
Philip

You can use the 'filemode' attribute on tarFileSet to specify the permisions
for files:

tarFileSet(dir: '.', filemode: '755') { ... }

Hi

I have some sh scripts that I want to package in a tar. Example tasks
using Wrapper are below. The issue is that gradlew has a+x permissions
in the directory before the tar, but when untarred it is -rw-r--r--.
How do you preserve execute permissions with a Tar task?

thanks,
Philip

   task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
       gradleVersion = '0.8'
       jarPath = 'gradleWrapper'
   }


task testTarDist(type: Tar, dependsOn: 'wrapper') {
   dirName = 'testWrapper'
   tarFileSet(dir: '.') {
       include('gradleWrapper/**')
       include('gradlew')
       include('gradlew.bat')
       prefix = dirName
   }
}
