RE: [gradle-user] how do I preserve or even set file permissions in Tar task?

[Richard Miehe]

Hi Philip.

Your example was just what I needed - thank you.  I ended up with the 
following.  Each test-support folder contains files that need to be executable. 
 The first 'from' excludes the files in test-support folders so the second 
'from' can pick them up and assign the fileMode appropriately.

myfiles = copySpec {
  from('../component-interface-tests') {
    include('integration-tests/**')
    include('README')
    exclude('**/test-support/**')
  }
  from('../component-interface-tests') {
    fileMode = 0755
    include('**/test-support/**')
  }
}

task tar(type: Tar) {
  with myfiles
  compression = 'GZIP'
}


Thanks again,
Richard.

I have scripts that preserve executable permissions within a tar, so it can 
work. I am not sure what would be different in your setup, but something like 
this seems to work for me. Typing from memory, so might be some errors...

Philip

myfile = copySpec {
    from('component-interface-tests') {
        fileMode=0755
        include('test-support/**')
   }
   from('component-interface-tests') {
       include('integration-tests/**')
       include('README')
   }
}

task tar (type: Tar) {
    with myfiles
}

I have a directory that has executable scripts that I need to archive up.  I 
was initially doing this as a jar, but jar's don't include any permissions.

I switched to the following which does create a tar archive, but does not 
preserve the files' original permissions.

task tar (type: Tar) {
  from fileTree('component-interface-tests')
}

I see there is an open issue (http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-673), but 
the workaround doesn't seem to work with milestone 3.

Does anyone have an example of that I could bundle the following directories 
and files?  In my case, only the files in test-support directory need to have 
executable permission.

component-interface-tests/
├── README
├── integration-tests
│   ├── component1
│       ├── 1.0.2
│           ├── S-61
│           │   └── 61.data
│           ├── S-64
│               ├── 64a.data
│               └── 64b.data
└── test-support
    ├── setup.sh
    ├── reset.sh
    └── whatever.sh

Thanks,
Richard.
