Old Forum

My htmlSanityCheck plugin produces a html result file.

How can I copy the appropriate css stylesheet (that I maintain in my plugin project) into the target directory?

thx

There is not gradle api for doing this at the moment, so you have to deal with this in plain java/groovy.

Stackoverflow has plenty of examples for this. For example have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10308221/how-to-copy-file-inside-jar-to-outside-the-jar

In the gradle codebase itself we’re doing this too. Have a look at https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/subprojects/performance/src/testFixtures/groovy/org/gradle/performance/results/ReportGenerator.java#L50-50 for an example.

You should be able to reuse GFileUtils#copyURLToFile that is part of the Gradle codebase.

hope that helps, cheers, René
