Native build: how do I create a zip file containing all files in exportedHeaders?

Help/Discuss

I’m sure this is simple, but I can’t seem to find the right way to do it. I’m trying to create a Zip task that will create a zip file containing all the exported headers of the module I’m building. But what is the right syntax to get hold of a FileCollection containing these files?

My NativeLibrarySpec is defined in the standard way with the default file structure on disk (the headers are in src/hello/headers):

model {
    components {
        hello(NativeLibrarySpec)
    }
}

task zipHeaders( type: Zip ) {
    from thisIsWhatINeedToKnow.exportedHeaders
}

Thanks!

Since the native plugins are in the “model space”, you need to create the tasks there.

Try something like:

apply plugin: 'cpp'
apply plugin: 'base'

model {
  components {
    main(NativeLibrarySpec) {
      tasks.create("headerZip4$name", Zip) {
        sources.withType(HeaderExportingSourceSet) { sourceSet ->
          from(sourceSet.exportedHeaders)
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
