API Documentation: | WriteProperties |

Writes a Properties
in a way that the results can be expected to be reproducible.
There are a number of differences compared to how properties are stored:
- no timestamp comment is generated at the beginning of the file
- the lines in the resulting files are separated by a pre-set separator (defaults to '\n') instead of the system default line separator
- the properties are sorted alphabetically
Like with Properties
, Unicode characters are escaped when using the
default Latin-1 (ISO-8559-1) encoding.

For each supplied task, this action adds a task 'ordering', and does not specify a 'dependency' between the tasks. As such, it is still possible to execute 'taskY' without first executing the 'taskX' in the example.
See here for a description of the types of objects which can be used to specify an ordering relationship.

You may add multiple such predicates. The task is skipped if any of the predicates return false.
Typical usage:myTask.onlyIf { isProductionEnvironment() }
Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.
Execute the task only if the given spec is satisfied. The spec will be evaluated at task execution time, not during configuration. If the Spec is not satisfied, the task will be skipped.
You may add multiple such predicates. The task is skipped if any of the predicates return false.
Typical usage (from Java):
myTask.onlyIf("run only in production environment", new Spec<Task>() { boolean isSatisfiedBy(Task task) { return isProductionEnvironment(); } });
Execute the task only if the given spec is satisfied. The spec will be evaluated at task execution time, not during configuration. If the Spec is not satisfied, the task will be skipped.
You may add multiple such predicates. The task is skipped if any of the predicates return false.
Typical usage (from Java):
myTask.onlyIf(new Spec<Task>() { boolean isSatisfiedBy(Task task) { return isProductionEnvironment(); } });
Adds multiple properties to be written to the properties file.
This is a convenience method for calling WriteProperties.property(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)
multiple times.
Returns the value of the given property of this task. This method locates a property as follows:
- If this task object has a property with the given name, return the value of the property.
- If this task has an extension with the given name, return the extension.
- If this task's convention object has a property with the given name, return the value of the property.
- If this task has an extra property with the given name, return the value of the property.
- If not found, throw
MissingPropertyException
Adds a property to be written to the properties file.
A property's value will be coerced to a String
with String#valueOf(Object)
or a
Callable
returning a value to be coerced into a String
.
Values are not allowed to be null.
Sets a property of this task. This method searches for a property with the given name in the following locations, and sets the property on the first location where it finds the property.
- The task object itself. For example, the
enabled
project property. - The task's convention object.
- The task's extra properties.
If the property is not found, a MissingPropertyException
is thrown.
