How to deploy with gradle new plugin

[zepouet]

Hello

Sorry if the question is very easy but for me not. Could you explain which Gradle tasks to run to deploy automatically an existing example plugin or a new one ?

I have idea to contribute about differents plugins but no way to enable them with gradle.
I know very well Maven but never use gradle.

In all case, I could help to contribute to a quick start dev tutorial after I understand.

Thanks a lot

Hey there, thanks for the question. It's all hands on deck now hence we stay silent.

I am passing your request right to the Report devs, so I hope the answer will come soon.

We do not provide plugins distribution system yet, so when custom plugin is used you need to maintain your own allure-commandline distribution. To do so:

1. Fork allure2 repository
2. Use ./gradlew build to build the project. We only run build on Java 8 and 11, so in case of any issues with more modern JDK try to downgrade to 11 at first.
3. Builded distributions location is allure-commandline/build/distributions. Unpacked version is also available allure-commandline/build/install/allure-commandline (you can create allure-dev symlink to that path)
4. To create a plugin you can use plugins/behaviors-plugin as a template.
   1. Copy the module
   2. Add it to settings.gradle.kts
   3. Add plugin as a dependency to allure-commandline module https://github.com/allure-framework/allure2/blob/master/allure-commandline/build.gradle.kts#L128
   4. Add plugin to default profile to enable it by default allure.yml
   5. Now simply run ./gradlew build to rebuild the distribution with a new plugin included to it

Guide how to write a plugin could be found here https://docs.qameta.io/allure#_allure_plugins_system

How to dev a plugin:

1. For dev mode we have ./gradlew dev task. After that webpack dev server will be started at port 3000
2. Dev report generated from test data (allure results)
3. You can change the test data here https://github.com/allure-framework/allure2/blob/master/allure-generator/build.gradle.kts#L74
4. In order to enable plugin in dev mode, add it as a dependency to allure-generator module https://github.com/allure-framework/allure2/blob/master/allure-generator/build.gradle.kts#L102
