markdown-confluence-gradle-plugin

Gradle plugin to publish markdown pages to confluence.

Usage and sample configuration.

You can define the plugin in settings.gradle

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }

    plugins {
        id "com.github.qwazer.markdown-confluence" version "$VERSION"
    }
}

And then apply the plugin in your build.gradle - if the version is specified in the settings.gradle, you don't need to repeat it in the build.gradle.

plugins {
    id "com.github.qwazer.markdown-confluence"
}

Sample config.

confluence {
    authenticationType = AuthenticationType.BASIC
    authentication = 'username:password'.bytes.encodeBase64().toString()
    restApiUrl = 'https://confluence.acme.com/rest/api/'
    spaceKey = 'SAMPLE'
    sslTrustAll = true
    pageVariables = ['project.name': project.name]
    parserType = 'commonmark'

    pages {
        "Releases" {
            parentTitle = "Home"
            srcFile = file("RELEASES.md")
            labels = ["release-notes", "${project.version}"]
        }
        "${project.name}" {
            parentTitle = "Releases"
            srcFile = file("README.md")
        }
    }
}

It's possible to define multiple pages with groovy closures. For example, the below code snippet defines all *.md files inside the src directory as confluence pages titled the same as underlying files (minus file path and extension) and having parentTitle equal to Parent Page.

    pages {
        fileTree("src")
            .include("**/*.md")
            .collect { file ->
                def title = file.name.take(file.name.lastIndexOf('.'))
                "${title}" {
                    parentTitle = "Parent Page"
                    srcFile = file
                }
        }
    }

Inline images.

The below Markdown code:

![Picture Alt Text](pics/picture.jpg "Extra title")

is translated to the following Confluence wiki:

!picture.jpg|Picture Alt Text!

Plus the pics/picture.jpg file (relative to the Markdown file) is added as an attachment (named picture.jpg) to the generated Confluence page and correctly linked.

Description of config parameters

parameter	datatype	optional	description
authenticationType	Enum	yes	Authentication type to use when calling Confluence APIs, one of: BASIC, PAT (Personal Access Token). Defaults to BASIC when not specified explicitly.
authenticationTypeString	String	yes	Overrides the above configuration using a string constant, one of: BASIC, PAT (Personal Access Token). Defaults to empty string when not specified explicitly.
authentication	String	no	'user:pass'.bytes.encodeBase64().toString() when authenticationType is BASIC, or token string when authenticationType is PAT.
restApiUrl	String	no	Confluence REST API URL.
spaceKey	String	no	Confluence space key.
sslTrustAll	Boolean	yes	Setting to ignore self-signed and unknown certificate errors. Useful in some corporate environments.
pageVariables	Map<String, String>	yes	Map of page variables. For example, if a Markdown file to be published contains ${myVar} placeholder, and the pageVariable map has an entry with the myVar key, then the placeholder in the Markdown file in will be substituted by value of the map entry having the myVar key.
parserType	String	yes	Markdown to Confluence wiki parser to use. One of: commonmark (default if not specified), pegdown.
pages	Closure	no	Collection of NamedDomainObjectContainer. If this collection contains multiple pages, they will be ordered according their parent-child relationship.
page	NamedDomainObjectContainer	no	Name of the container is the title of the page. Check Declaring DSL configuration container.
page.parentTitle	String	no	The title of the parent page under which this page should be published. It is used to resolve target page ancestorId in Confluence.
page.srcFile	File	no	The Markdown file to be published as Confluence wiki page (can be mixed with Confluence Wiki Markup).
page.labels	Collection	yes	Collection of labels to be added to the generated Confluence page.

Run the build

To trigger the generation of the page(s) configured in your build.gradle(.kts), just run the below command

./gradlew confluence

When the build completes successfully the configured pages will be in Confluence under the specified space.
