Support "ssh" protocol for "maven-publish" just like "maven"

Help/Discuss
1

Similar questions:

Currently the “maven” plugin supports many protocols: SCP, SSH, FTP, etc (Untitled)

Can we add the same support to the “maven-publish” plugin?

2

SFTP is supported. One limitation though is it only supports authentication via username/password. That means no private key auth at the moment if using ‘maven-publish’.

3

Is there a JIRA we can vote for private key? Also, client certificates for https may be useful for automating push to production repositories.

@ddimitrov I’ve created GRADLE-3472 and GRADLE-3473 to track this.

Should be url = "sftp://..." or alternatively you can omit the = operator but colons (:) are used in Groovy to define a Map not to perform assignment.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

still the same error. I am now confused as to what is causing it.

can you also add a working example to https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_maven.html so it’s easier for people to understand how it works?

11

any updates on how to get this working?

You cannot omit braces when using elseif. You’ll have to add the curly braces.

if (project.hasProperty("local") && project.getProperty("local") == "true") {
    url "file:" + projectDir.path + "/build/maven"
} elseif (project.hasProperty("BBMuser") {
    url = "sftp:///builtbroken.com:22767"
    credentials {
        username project.BBMuser
        password project.BBMpassword
    }
}
