I would like to make something like (pseudo code):
if (BuildType == "release"){
apply plugin: 'testfairy'
} else if (BuildType == "debug"){
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
}
The idea is that based on the build type, apply (or not) a plugin. How to do it ?
Based on Stefan Oehme, a Gradle core developer, he said:
Plugins can't be applied to only "part of your project". They are either applied or not. What is the use case where this becomes a problem for you?
So, the answer is this is not possible. I have exposed my use cases where this is becomes a problem and I'll see what hi says about it.
With Gradle 4.6, the following works:
if (getGradle().getStartParameter().getTaskRequests().toString().contains("Release")) {
apply plugin: 'testfairy'
} else if (getGradle().getStartParameter().getTaskRequests().toString().contains("Debug")) {
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
}
Here is a workaround solution I used. The idea is to introduce an Env variable and only apply the plugin in some specific env.
if (System.getenv("PROJECT_ENV") == "Release") {
apply plugin: 'your plugin'
}
Remember maven profiles? You can do something similar using this snippet which was borrowed from gradle-fury
in your build file
if (project.hasProperty('profile') && project.profile.split(',').contains("ci")) {
//do something
}
then run it when
gradlew -Pprofile=ci
There's a complete example here https://github.com/gradle-fury/gradle-fury/blob/develop/build.gradle
Disclaimer, i work on gradle-fury. for science
