Gradle Kotlin DSL

[jmfayard]

Hello Edvin,

it would be good to have a documentation sample for Gradle/Kotlin.

It should be something like this:

plugins {
    id("no.tornado.fxlauncher") version "1.0.20"
}
fxlauncher {
    applicationVendor = "My Company"
    // Base URL where you will host the application artifacts
    applicationUrl = "http://fxldemo.tornado.no/"
    applicationMainClass = "no.tornado.FxlDemo"
    acceptDowngrade = false
    // Optional scp target for application artifacts hosted at the above url
    deployTarget = "[email protected]:fxldemo"
}

and here is a (not-tested) deployS3 configuration

tasks.register<Exec>("deployS3") {
    // You need to have installed AWS command line interface: https://aws.amazon.com/cli/
    group = "fxlauncher"
    dependsOn("embedApplicationManifest")
    val environmentVariables = listOf("aws_access_key_id", "aws_secret_access_key", "aws_access_deploy_target", "aws_region")
    val aws = environmentVariables.map { System.getenv(it) } 
    // todo: check if variables exist
    val (aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key, aws_access_deploy_target, aws_region) = aws
    commandLine = "aws configure set aws_access_key_id ${System.getenv("aws_access_key_id")}".split(" ")
    commandLine = "aws configure set aws_secret_access_key ${System.getenv("aws_secret_access_key")}".split(" ")
    commandLine = "aws s3 cp build/libs $aws_access_deploy_target --acl public-read --recursive --region us-west-1".split(" ")
}

Thanks. This should probably even be the default now, would you be able to submit a PR for the switchover? We should keep the old one for reference, but use the Kotlin DSL as default.

Hi, i am also very interested in this and tried the described approach.
Unfortunately i run into some problems. While generating the native installer works, it seems to not copy the application dependencies, therefore my application cannot start. Maybe i am doing something wrong.

I forked the project and created a branch with my changes.
Basically just updated gradle files and switched to build.gradle.kts.
Maybe you could have a look here:

master...oemergenc:feature/gradle-kotlin-dsl

This is what i am doing:

git clone https://github.com/oemergenc/fxldemo-gradle.git
cd fxldemo-gradle
git checkout feature/gradle-kotlin-dsl
./gradlew generateNativeInstaller

After that running ls in the build directory results in this:

I ❯ ll build/fxlauncher
total 96
-rw-r--r--  1 omer.genc  staff   623B Oct 24 05:36 app.xml
-rw-r--r--  1 omer.genc  staff    36K Oct 24 05:36 fxlauncher.jar
-rw-r--r--  1 omer.genc  staff   1.9K Oct 24 05:36 fxldemo-gradle.jar

Where all dependencies declared in build.gradle.kts are missing.
Any ideas?
