Fat JAR is automatically published after upgrading from 5.2.0 → 6.0.0

[bwaldvogel]

Shadow Version

6.0.0

Gradle Version

6.5.1

Expected Behavior

I’m publishing maven artifacts with the maven-publish plugin.
Fat JARs are not automatically published (until I configured it explicitly).

Actual Behavior

After upgrading from shadow 5.2.0 to 6.0.0 I see that the …-all.jar files are published.
Is the behavior change in 6.0.0 intended? If yes, how can I disable it?

Gradle Build Script(s)

Same issue for me, haven't found a way to disable this new behavior.

I started to experience the same problem with an upgrade from 5.2.0 to 6.0.0.

@johnrengelman Can you please fix this issue or update the documentation on how to disable it and mention that this is now the default behavior?

I think I found a way to exclude the shadow jar based on this, just add this to the build.gradle file of the published module:

components.java.withVariantsFromConfiguration(configurations.shadowRuntimeElements) {
    skip()
}

components.java.withVariantsFromConfiguration(configurations.shadowRuntimeElements) {
    skip()
}

This is great, however the default behavior should be not to publish fat jars.

For kotlin scripts:

// Skip fat jar publication
components.java.withVariantsFromConfiguration(configurations.shadowRuntimeElements.get()) { skip() }

val SoftwareComponentContainer.java
    get() = components.getByName("java") as AdhocComponentWithVariants

Just closed my issue #783 in favor of this one.

I just want to add so we don't forget that in addition to not including the fat jar in the publication, we also want to make sure that publication tasks to not depend on the shadowJar task (as they currently seem to do), since the shadowJar task is expensive.
