Looking through DefaultArtifactHandler, I don't think this is going to work
at all.
It seems that 'javascript [whatever]' is expecting 'whatever' to be an
instance of AbstractArchiveTask.
I don't mind creating an instance, but it doesn't really look like it's set
up to handle the possibility of multiple artifacts. It seems that the api's
are set up for a single artifact per configuration.
While, most Javascript libraries I know of only end up having a single
javascript file that they provide for download. I would like to offer the
user the ability of specifying multiple files/artifacts.
I'd like some advice on how best to do this. I'm considering creating an
archive task, and then using a convention to allow user's to specify
additional artifacts.
Eg. By default the archive task will copy and version any file named after
the project.name, or sourceSet.name. If the user wants to specify more than
this, they would need to add this to their build.gradle:
[code src="build.gradle"]
javascript {
artifacts << ['file_name1_without_extension',
'file_name2_without_extension']
}
[/code]
I'd like user's to be able to use the artifacts closure, as I think most
Gradle user's would expect to. However, I'm not sure how to.
Thanks,
Eric
