Methods

MethodDescription
credentials(credentialsType, identity)

Creates a Provider for the given Credentials type.

credentials(credentialsType, identity)

Creates a Provider for the given Credentials type.

environmentVariable(variableName)

Creates a Provider whose value is fetched from the environment variable with the given name.

environmentVariable(variableName)

Creates a Provider whose value is fetched from the environment variable with the given name.

environmentVariablesPrefixedBy(variableNamePrefix)
Incubating

Creates a Provider whose value is a name-to-value map of the environment variables with the names starting with the given prefix. The prefix comparison is case-sensitive. The returned map is immutable.

environmentVariablesPrefixedBy(variableNamePrefix)
Incubating

Creates a Provider whose value is a name-to-value map of the environment variables with the names starting with the given prefix. The prefix comparison is case-sensitive. The returned map is immutable.

exec(action)
Incubating

Allows lazy access to the output of the external process. When the process output is read at configuration time it is considered as an input to the configuration model. Consequent builds will re-execute the process to obtain the output and check if the cached model is still up-to-date. The process input and output streams cannot be configured.

fileContents(file)

Allows lazy access to the contents of the given file. When the file contents are read at configuration time the file is automatically considered as an input to the configuration model.

fileContents(file)

Allows lazy access to the contents of the given file. When the file contents are read at configuration time the file is automatically considered as an input to the configuration model.

Method details

Provider<T> credentials(Class<T> credentialsType, String identity)

Creates a Provider for the given Credentials type.

The provider returned by this method should be attached to a task's input property. This way, the presence of credentials will be validated before any of the tasks are executed if and only if the task with credentials property is to be executed.

Values for the requested Credentials type will be sourced from the project's properties using the pattern "identity" + credentials field. For example, PasswordCredentials provider with identity "myService" will look for properties named "myServiceUsername" and "myServicePassword".

The following credential types are currently supported:

Provider<T> credentials(Class<T> credentialsType, Provider<String> identity)

Creates a Provider for the given Credentials type.

The provider returned by this method should be attached to a task's input property. This way, the presence of credentials will be validated before any of the tasks are executed if and only if the task with credentials property is to be executed.

Values for the requested Credentials type will be sourced from the project's properties using the pattern "identity" + credentials field. For example, PasswordCredentials provider with identity "myService" will look for properties named "myServiceUsername" and "myServicePassword".

The following credential types are currently supported:

Provider<String> environmentVariable(String variableName)

Creates a Provider whose value is fetched from the environment variable with the given name.

Provider<String> environmentVariable(Provider<String> variableName)

Creates a Provider whose value is fetched from the environment variable with the given name.

Provider<Map<String, String>> environmentVariablesPrefixedBy(String variableNamePrefix)

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

Creates a Provider whose value is a name-to-value map of the environment variables with the names starting with the given prefix. The prefix comparison is case-sensitive. The returned map is immutable.

Returns a provider which value will be computed by combining a provider value with another provider value using the supplied combiner function.

The resulting provider will be live, so that each time it is queried, it queries both supplied providers and applies the combiner to the results. Whenever any of the providers has no value, the new provider will also have no value and the combiner will not be called.

If the supplied providers represents a task or the output of a task, the resulting provider will carry the dependency information.
