I’m trying to publish my plugin with gradle’s publishing plugin (com.gradle.plugin-publish), but I’m getting a rather inscrutable error when invoking the publishPlugins target:

Hi Aaron

This looks like a bug in a component that we’re using in the publishing plugin. We’ll investigate a solution and get back to you.

Cheers

@paleozogt Which version of gradle are you using and what operating system are you running on? I suspect that this may be something specific to the properties files on your environment. Do you have a properties file at ~/.gradle/gradle.properties and if you do, could you share it (if it’s not sensitive) or try removing properties from that file to see if it makes any difference.

4

One scenario which causes this is a properties file with duplicates and one of those duplicates appears at the top of a properties file i.e. the properties file does not begin with a comment or a new line.

e.g.

a=1```

I added a newline to the top of my ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file and that fixed it right up. I would have never guessed that was the issue.

This has been fixed in version 0.9.3
