Hello,

cool project

Is it gradle 8.10.2 supported ?

[manusa]

Yes, it should be supported.

[marwin1991]

@manusa you should extend readme about available version.gradle values, because I understand that i cannot use any version?

[manusa]

Quite the opposite, you should be able to use any Gradle 7 or Gradle 8 version.

you should extend readme about available

Do you want to open a PR to clarify that?

I guess something could be added after the block where it states: Add a fake dependency to your project with the version of Gradle you want to use.

I have notice, that if i used:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.gradle</groupId>
            <artifactId>gradle-all</artifactId>
            <version>${gradle-all.version}</version>
        </dependency>

I got error during importing this dep:

A problem occurred configuring root project 'demo'.
> Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration 'classpath'.
   > Could not find org.gradle:gradle-all:8.2.1.
     Searched in the following locations:
       - https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/org/gradle/gradle-all/8.2.1/gradle-all-8.2.1.pom
     Required by:
         root project : > dev.logchange:dev.logchange.gradle.plugin:1.16.3

Possible solution:
 - Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html

I guess <scope>test</scope> it is important then?

Maybe you could add to readme:

<!-- It's important to add this as test, because otherwise importing this plugin will require such a dependency, what will cause an error -->

test does not work, becasue I cannot refer gradle classes like import org.gradle.api.Project; i will test provided

[manusa]

The scope should most likely be test or provided but it depends a lot on your use case (however, I don't think this should be causing an issue --I need to check--).

For example, I mostly use this extension maven plugin to be able to create Gradle plugins from Maven Projects:

• Eclipse JKube - Kubernetes Gradle Plugin
• Fabric8 Kubernetes Client - Java Generator Gradle Plugin

In both cases, the fake dependency is added as provided since the plugin will actually run within a Gradle environment which will provide the actual dependencies.

Let me know how are you using the plugin and we can clarify how to add the dependency or see if there's something else to be implemented.

@manusa thank you so much for help and for creating this awesome plugin!

I am also creating gradle plugin:

https://github.com/logchange/logchange/tree/main/logchange-gradle-plugin

And I was struggling, but provided works like a charm!

Maybe you should release this plugin as 1.0.0 because looks nice and production ready :)

[manusa]

Awesome news! 🚀

Maybe you should release this plugin as 1.0.0 because looks nice and production ready :)

That's a discussion for another day.
But I can guarantee that the plugin is production-ready since day one, been using it flawlessly in major libraries 😅

I'm closing this issue now.
Feel free to open a new issue or to reach out in case you have any problem with your gradle plugin.
