Artifact upload without file extension

matt_fair · June 26, 2012, 4:37pm

I’m trying to upload a binary artifact that doesn’t have a file extension via maven uploadArchives mavenDeployer.

def myfile = file('build/myfile')
  artifacts {
    archives file: myFile, name: 'myFile', type: 'exe', builtBy: build
}

However it doesn’t seem to like ‘myfile’ without a file extension I get the following error:.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':uploadArchives'.
> Could not publish configuration ':archives'.
   > java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

If I rename it to ‘myfile.exe’ everything works as expected.

Is there a way to get maven to upload the file without an extension, or is this just not how maven is suppose to work? I tried type ‘uexe’ but that didn’t work.

Is there a way to get add a Maven plugin? http://mojo.codehaus.org/maven-native/native-maven-plugin/usage.html

Thanks, Matt

Please run with ‘-s’ and post the stack trace. I don’t understand what your last question is about.

hi Peter,

It’s same with

http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/artifact_configuration_w_o_file_extension_creates_nullpointerexception. I also encounter this problem today.

here is a demo which can be used to reproduce this problem:

  [zouguangxian@]$ ls  Readme  build.gradle

  [zouguangxian@]$ cat build.gradle

apply plugin: 'java'  configurations {



dist  }

 artifacts {



dist file('Readme')  }

  [zouguangxian@]$ gradle -s build

 FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

 * Where:  Build file '/Users/zouguangxian/tmp/gradle/build.gradle' line: 7

 * What went wrong:  A problem occurred evaluating root project 'gradle'.  > java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

 * Try:  Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

 * Exception is:  org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'gradle'.

In gradle-1.9/subprojects/plugins/src/main/groovy/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/DefaultArtifactPublicationSet.java

public void addCandidate(PublishArtifact artifact) {
        if (defaultArtifact == null) {
            artifacts.add(artifact);
            defaultArtifact = artifact;
            return;
        }
          String thisType = artifact.getType();
        String currentType = defaultArtifact.getType();
        if (thisType.equals("ear")) {
            replaceCurrent(artifact);
        } else if (thisType.equals("war")) {
            if (currentType.equals("jar")) {
                replaceCurrent(artifact);
            }
        } else if (!thisType.equals("jar")) {
            artifacts.add(artifact);
        }
    }

when getType() return null will cause java.lang.NullPointerException, so that If the type is given for the file, the problem will be resolved.

  apply plugin: ‘java’  configurations {
dist  }
artifacts {
dist file: file(‘Readme’), type: ‘binary’  }
