How do you list out all output / generate files from a Gradle Build? - github

Question

Currently I am using the following to generate list of output files which I want for another plugin which does Github releases.
[
"${buildDir}/libs/${project.name}-${project.version}.jar",
"${buildDir}/libs/${project.name}-${project.version}-javadoc.jar",
"${buildDir}/libs/${project.name}-${project.version}-sources.jar"
]
I am not very satisfied with this as I am manually specifying each type of file (doc, source, class). I am looking to make this more generic where I can reuse without any modification for any project which might have more or less outputs and also may not be in the default location and some outputs may not even be Java outputs. I.e. changing output location, the tasks to run or plugging elsewhere in the script should not break this part of the script and should be reusable without editing. The question is how do you get a list of all the outputs as a List of String like above.

plugins {
id 'co.riiid.gradle' version '0.4.2'
}
...
ext {
org = 'MicroTrader'
repo = org + '/' + project.name
releaseNotesFile = 'RELEASE_NOTES.md'
host = 'github.com'
hostUrl = 'https://' + host + '/'
orgUrl = hostUrl + org
websiteUrl = hostUrl + repo
vcsUrl = websiteUrl + '.git'
scmUrl = 'scm:git#' + host + ':' + repo + '.git'
issueTrackerUrl = websiteUrl + '/issues'
ossrhUsername = ((project.hasProperty('ossrhUsername') ? ossrhUsername : System.getenv('OSSRH_USER')) ?: System.getProperty('ossrh.user')) ?: ' '
ossrhPassword = ((project.hasProperty('ossrhPassword') ? ossrhPassword : System.getenv('OSSRH_PASSWORD')) ?: System.getProperty('ossrh.password')) ?: ' '
bintray_user = ((project.hasProperty('bintray_user') ? bintray_user : System.getenv('BINTRAY_USER')) ?: System.getProperty('bintray.user')) ?: ' '
bintray_api_key = ((project.hasProperty('bintray_api_key') ? bintray_api_key : System.getenv('BINTRAY_KEY')) ?: System.getProperty('bintray.apikey')) ?: ' '
artifactory_user = ((project.hasProperty('artifactory_user') ? artifactory_user : System.getenv('ARTIFACTORY_USER')) ?: System.getProperty('artifactory.user')) ?: ' '
artifactory_password = ((project.hasProperty('artifactory_password') ? artifactory_password : System.getenv('ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD')) ?: System.getProperty('artifactory.password')) ?: ' '
github_api_key = ((project.hasProperty('github_api_key') ? github_api_key : System.getenv('GITHUB_KEY')) ?: System.getProperty('github.apikey')) ?: ' '
}
...
github {
owner = project.org
repo = project.name
token = project.github_api_key
tagName = project.version
targetCommitish = 'master'
name = 'v' + project.version
body = Files.exists(Paths.get('' + projectDir + '/' + releaseNotesFile)) ?
new File('' + projectDir + '/' + releaseNotesFile).text :
(Files.exists(Paths.get('' + baseDir + '/' + releaseNotesFile)) ?
new File('' + baseDir + '/' + releaseNotesFile).text : '')
assets = [
"${buildDir}/libs/${project.name}-${project.version}.jar",
"${buildDir}/libs/${project.name}-${project.version}-javadoc.jar",
"${buildDir}/libs/${project.name}-${project.version}-sources.jar"
]
}

Try reading the outputs property on all of the tasks in your build used to generate the artifacts:
project(':my-sub-project').jar.outputs
Another option is to use the archives configuration from all of your sub-projects:
project(':my-sub-project').configurations.archives.allArtifacts
