REST Gradle Plugin

A Gradle plugin that provides a task infrastructure to perform REST requests.

Installation

The plugin can be installed using the following snippet

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'http://dl.bintray.com/content/noamt/gradle-plugins' }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'org._10ne.gradle:rest-gradle-plugin:0.1'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'rest'

Usage

The plugin adds a new task named rest. This task exposes the following properties:

• httpMethod - The type of HTTP method to execute. Type: String. Default: get. Possible values: delete, get, head, options, post, put.
• uri - The target URI of the request. An invocation of toString() on the value should result in a valid URI. Type: Object.
• username - Authentication username. Type: String.
• password - Authentication password. Type: String.
• contentType - The expected content type of both request and response. Type: groovyx.net.http.ContentType / String.
• requestContentType - The expected content type of the request. Overrides the contentType parameter. Type: groovyx.net.http.ContentType / String.
• requestBody - The request content. Type: Object.

For example, a POST request task:

task attack(type: org._10ne.gradle.rest.RestTask) {
    httpMethod = 'post'
    uri = 'https://battle.server.com/attack'
    username = 'player'
    password = 'password'
    requestBody = [battleCry: 'FOR LEEROY JENKINS!']
    contentType = groovyx.net.http.ContentType.JSON
}
