mlAddHostNameTokens=true doesn't seem to create the custom tokens for each host

[darrelcox]

After adding the mlAddHostNameTokens=true to my gradle.properties file. I added this task to my build.gradle file :

task printInfo {
    doLast {
        println "1st host (mlHostName1): " + mlAppConfig.customTokens.get("%%mlHostName1%%")
        println "2nd host (mlHostName2): " + mlAppConfig.customTokens.get("%%mlHostName2%%")
        println "3rd host (mlHostName3): " + mlAppConfig.customTokens.get("%%mlHostName3%%")
        println "4th host (mlHostName4): " + mlAppConfig.customTokens.get("%%mlHostName4%%")
        println "5th host (mlHostName5): " + mlAppConfig.customTokens.get("%%mlHostName5%%")
        println "6th host (mlHostName6): " + mlAppConfig.customTokens.get("%%mlHostName6%%")
        println "7th host (mlHostName7): " + mlAppConfig.customTokens.get("%%mlHostName7%%")
        println "8th host (mlHostName8): " + mlAppConfig.customTokens.get("%%mlHostName8%%")
        println "9th host (mlHostName9): " + mlAppConfig.customTokens.get("%%mlHostName9%%")
        println "10th host (mlHostName10): " + mlAppConfig.customTokens.get("%%mlHostName10%%")
    }
}

Then I run : gradle -i -Penv=prod -Pconfirm=true printInfo but I'm getting this output :

1st host (mlHostName1): null
2nd host (mlHostName2): null
3rd host (mlHostName3): null
4th host (mlHostName4): null
5th host (mlHostName5): null
6th host (mlHostName6): null
7th host (mlHostName7): null
8th host (mlHostName8): null
9th host (mlHostName9): null
10th host (mlHostName10): null

However, starting with 3.13.0 I would expect see the hostname values according to the description from https://github.com/marklogic-community/ml-app-deployer/wiki/Scheduled-Tasks.

What am I doing wrong?

gradle -v

The mlHostName* properties are added when any commands are executed by the mlAppDeployer object. Before the first command is executed, the value of mlAddHostNameTokens is checked, and if it's true, the host name properties are set.

I'll make that more clear in the docs.
