Discriminate between local build and CI build

Help/Discuss
1

On my gradle I have something like this:

def DEV_MODE=false
def myloader="com.github.Pesegato"
def myversion="-SNAPSHOT"
if (DEV_MODE){
 myloader="com.pesegato"
 myversion="latest.integration"
}

I’m not super happy with it, because I need to keep DEV_MODE to true on my development machine, and when committing I must ignore a line of the file… is there a cleaner way to do this? Like check the presence of a local file or something?

I usually do it the other way around, I have the CI build set an environment variable.

Eg for travis

you can also detect if you’re on CI or not. Usually the different CI servers out there expose this via a environment variable or system property. We at gradle for example use teamcity and do it like this: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/feb4c534f3b55331edf3d6279df25ba0b9f86162/build.gradle#L145-L145

Cool idea but

 Could not find property 'CI' on root project

Unless I redefine with def…?
