Auto-Generated SHA1 files?

Old Forum

Does Gradle provide for creating sha1 files for artifacts handled by uploadArchives?

Apparently gradle does not yet do this for you as evident by this thread here:

I figured out a workaround, though, for the interim. Hope this helps somebody:

project.task("checkSums") << {
        List<CheckSum> checksums = []
        project.configurations.getByName("archives").artifacts.each { artifact ->
        project.ant.checksum(file: artifact.file, algorithm: "sha1", todir: "$project.buildDir/libs")
        project.ant.checksum(file: artifact.file, algorithm: "md5", todir: "$project.buildDir/libs")
        checksums.add(new CheckSum(artifact.name, "${artifact.extension}.sha1", artifact.type, new File("$project.buildDir/libs/${artifact.file.name}.sha1")))
        checksums.add(new CheckSum(artifact.name, "${artifact.extension}.md5", artifact.type, new File("$project.buildDir/libs/${artifact.file.name}.md5")))
      }
        checksums.each { checksum ->
        project.artifacts.add("archives", checksum)
      }
    }

class CheckSum implements PublishArtifact {
      String name;
    String extension;
    String type;
    File file;
      CheckSum(String name, String extension, String type, File file) {
      this.name = name
      this.extension = extension
      this.type = type
      this.file = file
    }
      @Override
    String getName() {
      return name
    }
      @Override
    String getExtension() {
      return extension
    }
      @Override
    String getType() {
      return type
    }
      @Override
    String getClassifier() {
      return null
    }
      @Override
    File getFile() {
      return file
    }
      @Override
    Date getDate() {
      return new Date()
    }
      @Override
    TaskDependency getBuildDependencies() {
      return null
    }
  }
