I have issues with some specific factory methods in gradle (checked in 1.11 and 2.1).
For this code snippet in a plugin, a will be null even though the code itself and when stepping through it seems to do the right thing. The artifact(object, closure) method has a return type of MavenArtifact, so everything should be cool.
Why is “a” null ?
// New "maven-publish" style
project.publishing {
publications {
mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
MavenPublication pub -> pub.with {
from project.components.java
artifact javaDocTask
artifact sourcesTask
MavenArtifact a = artifact(dependencyReportAttributes.file) {
MavenArtifact art -> art.with {
classifier dependencyReportAttributes.classifier
builtBy dependencyReportAttributes.builtBy
}
}
assert a != null
}
}
}
}
