I'm trying to achieve a simple scenario in my spring boot project build: including / excluding dependencies and packaging war or jar depending on the environment.
So for example, for the environment dev
include devtools and package jar, for prod
package war etc.
I know it is not XML based configuration anymore and I can basically write if statements in my build.gradle but is there a recommended way of achieving this?
Can I declare some common dependencies and refer them in a single file instead of creating multiple build files?
Is there a best practice changing build configuration based on the build target environment?
ext {
devDependencies = ['org.foo:dep1:1.0', 'org.foo:dep2:1.0']
prodDependencies = ['org.foo:dep3:1.0', 'org.foo:dep4:1.0']
isProd = System.properties['env'] == 'prod'
isDev = System.properties['env'] == 'dev'
}
apply plugin: 'java'
dependencies {
compile 'org.foo:common:1.0'
if (isProd) {
compile prodDependencies
}
if (isDev) {
compile devDependencies
}
}
if (isDev) tasks.withType(War).all { it.enabled = false }
My version (inspired by Lance Java's answer):
apply plugin: 'war'
ext {
devDependencies = {
compile 'org.foo:dep1:1.0', {
exclude module: 'submodule'
}
runtime 'org.foo:dep2:1.0'
}
prodDependencies = {
compile 'org.foo:dep1:1.1'
}
commonDependencies = {
compileOnly 'javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.0.1'
}
env = findProperty('env') ?: 'dev'
}
dependencies project."${env}Dependencies"
dependencies project.commonDependencies
if (env == 'dev') {
war.enabled = false
}
