How to invoke Annotation Processor from Gradle plugin - gradle-plugin

I am currently working on a Gradle custon plugin that should analyse my root project for specific configs in every subproject and then generate some kotlin source code in the build dir. I can't figure out a way to invoke my annotation processor from my gradle plugin which has a custom task for this matter.
Any ideas how to achieve this? Any resource/tutorial/documentation is also highly welcomed.
Thanks in advance and be safe.

After a long time of googling and mostly trying and failing, I finally figured out the solution to my question. Here is my task configuration.
Basically we have to provide the annotation processor's classpath as a project configuration. In my case I added this block to the project's build.gradle
allprojects {
configurations {
myProcessor //pick any name!!!
}
}
and then as a dependency in app build.gradle
dependencies {
myProcessor "PATH_TO_MY_PROCESSOR_JAR" //or maven dependency if it's uploaded to maven central
}
tasks.register(
"myTaskName",
JavaCompile::class.java
) {
compiler ->
with(compiler.options) {
isFork = true
isIncremental = true
}
with(compiler) {
group = shuttle.plugin.ShuttlePlugin.TASK_GROUP
destinationDir = outputDir
classpath = variant.getCompileClasspath(null)
options.annotationProcessorPath = configurations.getByName("myProcessor") //this is the missing piece!!
source = files(projectDir.resolve("src/main/java")).asFileTree
}
}
However, this task will only compile Java classes Only and not kotlin.
Any Idea how to fix this behaviour knowing that my plugin targets only android apps so I don't have direct access to kotlinCompile gradle default task?

Unable to build cordapp with accounts dependencies

I was able to build a cordapp using Accounts by following the steps at https://github.com/corda/accounts.
This cordapp was building and running until 03/16/2020, but since 03/20/2020 I am seeing errors in my CI builds because https://ci-artifactory.corda.r3cev.com/artifactory/corda-lib-dev/com/r3/corda/lib/accounts/accounts-contracts/1.0-RC04/accounts-contracts-1.0-RC04.jar cannot be accessed. I get a 409 response now, how can I resolve this?
{
"errors" : [ {
"status" : 409,
"message" : "The repository 'corda-lib-dev' rejected the resolution of an artifact 'corda-lib-dev:com/r3/corda/lib/accounts/accounts-contracts/1.0-RC04/accounts-contracts-1.0-RC04.jar' due to conflict in the snapshot release handling policy."
} ]
}
My build.gradle has
accounts_release_version = '1.0-RC04'
accounts_release_group = 'com.r3.corda.lib.accounts'
confidential_id_release_group = "com.r3.corda.lib.ci"
confidential_id_release_version = "1.0-RC03"
repositories {
maven { url 'http://ci-artifactory.corda.r3cev.com/artifactory/corda-lib-dev' }
maven { url 'http://ci-artifactory.corda.r3cev.com/artifactory/corda-lib' }
}
My local builds on my development environment work fine, I assume because I already have the jars in my .m2
Artifactory configuration has been changed to enforce separation between release and snapshot repositories. corda-lib-dev is a snapshot repo and CorDapp developers should not be developing against these.
Releases and release candidates will be available in corda-lib going forward.
Kindly use corda-lib, and develop again release 1.0.
The pom file with RC04 is set to return 409. I assume Corda's way to disallow use of RC04. May be RC03 is also the same. I just tried this today and saw the repository pom files.
Use "1.0" instead of "1.0-RC03"

Gradle implementation vs compile in jar task

I can successfully use Gradle to compile a fat JAR, but having trouble running the JAR after recently switching from the "compile" dependency specification to the "implementation/api" specification. I have isolated that the problem occurs in only one of the two following cases. The application runs in either case inside IntelliJ.
first/problem:
dependencies {implementation 'no.tornado:tornadofx:1.7.18'}
second/works:
dependencies {compile'no.tornado:tornadofx:1.7.18'}
The JAR compiles in both cases. The problem appears when I attempt to start the first case JAR on the command line and it throws the following error.
C:\aaa_eric\code\testr\mic\build\libs>java -jar mic-1.0-snapshot.jar
Error: Could not find or load main class app.MyApp
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: tornadofx/App
Here is the JAR task in build.gradle. Is it possible that the tornadofx dependency is available at compile time, but not at run time? Thanks for any help.
jar {
manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class': 'app.MyApp'
}
from { configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } }
}
Changing configurations.compile.collect to configurations.compileClasspath.collect fixed the problem for me.
I was having the same problem and stumbled across this in https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/artifacts/ConfigurationContainer.html:
An example showing how to refer to a given configuration by name in
order to get hold of all dependencies (e.g. jars, but only)
apply plugin: 'java' //so that I can use 'implementation', 'compileClasspath' configuration
dependencies {
implementation 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.26'
}
//copying all dependencies attached to 'compileClasspath' into a specific folder
task copyAllDependencies(type: Copy) {
//referring to the 'compileClasspath' configuration
from configurations.compileClasspath
into 'allLibs'
}
One thing to note is that configurations.compileClasspath.collect worked for me even when I was using the compile specification instead of implement.

How can CorDapps deal with transitive dependencies

Currently in v2, if a CorDapp references a module X, which has a transitive dependency to a module Y, such that Y is used by Corda, a potential version conflict can occur if the respective versions of Y for Corda and X differ. An example is the reuse of an existing internal library, containing business and serialisation logic, that depends on Jackson.
In this case, the resulting CorDapp packaging and Corda runtime, seem to enforce the version of Y that is relevant for Corda.
If the versions of Y differ sufficiently, we can get such scenarios as X breaking because Y doesn’t support certain types and methods.
Is there a general way that the gradle configuration (or some other mechanism) can be used to restrict the correct version of Y for usage by X, without impacting the Corda runtime?
So I worked this out, and in the process, finally learnt some gradle basics (having come from a maven background). No doubt the following is inelegant and could be generalised better - but it works!
TLDR: shadowJar
Assumptions
you're using the current v2 kotlin cordapp template
the cordapp sub module uses dependencies that either they or their dependencies clash against the Corda runtime.
Solution
1. add the shadowJar reference
In the root build.gradle file add the following
classpath 'com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins:shadow:2.0.2'
to the buildscript dependencies:
buildscript {
// ...
dependencies {
// ...
classpath 'com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins:shadow:2.0.2'
}
}
2. add shadowJar task to the cordapp
In the cordapp project, apply the shadowJar plugin.
Please Note: I needed to put this before all existing plugins for it to work.
apply plugin: 'com.github.johnrengelman.shadow'
apply plugin: 'kotlin'
// ... etc
Then add the invocation parameterisation:
tasks {
shadowJar {
mergeServiceFiles()
// Place your shaded packages here!
relocate 'io.netty', 'shadow.io.netty'
relocate 'com.fasterxml', 'shadow.com.fasterxml'
configurations = [project.configurations.compile]
baseName = jar.baseName + "-" + jar.version
classifier = null
version = null
dependencies {
include(dependency(".*:.*:.*"))
exclude(dependency('org.jetbrains.kotlin:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('net.corda:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('org.apache.logging.*:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('org.apache.activemq:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('com.google.*:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('io.reactivex:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('org.bouncycastle.*:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('org.glassfish.*:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('co.paralleluniverse.*:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('co.paralleluniverse.*:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('com.typesafe.*:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('com.esotericsoftware.*:.*:.*'))
exclude(dependency('org.qpid.*:.*:.*'))
}
}
}
3. Alter the build dependencies
Now change the definition of deployNodes to not depend on the jar task, but instead, depend on the build of each module:
task deployNodes(type: net.corda.plugins.Cordform, dependsOn: [':cordapp-contracts-states:jar', ':cordapp:shadowJar']) {
// ... etc
}

Can't understand gradle jar task code that creates executable fat-jar

I am learning Gradle but I don't understand the jar task code that creates a jar with all the dependencies inside ( taken from Gradle Cookbook ):
jar {
baseName = jarBaseName
manifest { attributes "Main-Class": mainClass }
from { configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } }
}
My questions are:
1.The task name is jar. Because it's not written like jar<<{...} I'm assuming that this is run in the configuration phase, and not the execution one. Am I correct?
2.What exactly is configurations.compile? I'm assuming that some kind of dependencies classpath is queried, and each jar is zipTree-ed. Then all of this stuff is merged with the base classpath
. Please elaborate about it
3.The zipTree method, I'm assuming it kind of unarchives each jar but I'm not sure. Am I correct?
Regards,
Yes You're correct. When no action added (mostly with << see docs) the code is run at configuration phase. The code You provided is also run at configuration phase.
configurations.compile refers to a configuration named compile using configurations object (a kind of a configurations container). Prior to gradle 2.0 compile configuration is provided by default with java plugin. AFAIR now it's called javaCompile. According to zipTree You're also correct.
Yes You're.

Pulling a gradle dependency jar from maven and then running it directly?

Is there a way in gradle to specify a dependency (a jar), and then run that jarfile directly within a task?
Here is one way:
configurations {
tool
}
dependencies {
tool "some:tool:1.0"
}
task runTool(type: JavaExec) {
main = "some.tool.Main"
classpath configurations.tool
}
If you don't know the main class and/or want to do the equivalent of java -jar, you need to employ a workaround as described in http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-1274.
