Question: Publish and Closing in a Different Step

[musketyr]

Hi,

I would like to publish my libraries in a different steps because I use a different inputs for these

1. publish with version 1.2.3-suffix-1 (publishToSonatype -Pversion=1.2.3-suffix-1)
2. publish with version 1.2.3-suffix-2 (publishToSonatype -Pversion=1.2.3-suffix-1)
3. close and release staging repositories (closeAndReleaseSonatypeStagingRepository)

Is this possible to achieve somehow. The closeAndReleaseSonatypeStagingRepository takes a very long time so I would to avoid calling it multiple times.

I have a similar situation, where we have multiple projects under the same groupId, each of which is built and published in its own Jenkins Job, something like this:

• Project 1 contains my.fancy.groupid:some-artifact and my.fancy.groupid:some-other-artifact
• Project 2 contains my.fancy.groupid:whatever-artifact
• Project 3 contains my.fancy.groupid:foobar-artifact

I want to release all the artifacts at the same time, with the same version number, but in different build steps. Can this be done? I.e. is this possible:

• project 1 publishToSonatype (should create the staging repo)
• project 2 publishToSonatype
• project 3 publishToSonatype
• closeAndReleaseSonatypeStagingRepository

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I believe #145 adds a foundation for the feature.
In other words, firstly you coould create a staging repo (e.g. when publishing the first project), then you use findStagingRepo task to find the repo.

@vlsi thanks for the quick reply. So you're saying I could do this:

• ./gradlew publishToSonatype
• ./gradlew findStagingRepo publishToSonatype
• ./gradlew closeAndReleaseStagingRepository

I guess so.
The thing is if publish and close need to be split into two different executions, then the "close" part should somehow get the staging repository id.
I incline that specifying the id manually is prone to errors, so it would be much better if the plugin could find the corresponding id by searching for a user-defined id (e.g. project version).
