Task '.run' not found in root project 'my-project'.

[mklueh]

Hello,

first of all thank you, your plugin really does the job! I was trying to get something working for ages to release changed modules from my monorepo, but nothing really worked. In my opinion, especially after I've used https://nx.dev/ for my frontend project where it just takes one line of code to do the same without any plugins, I think it should be way easier with Gradle as well.

I just want to let one problem here, which is related to PowerShell and

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

when trying to run ./gradlew --continue runTaskForChangedProjects -PchangedProjectsTask.run with PowerShell

[Crimix]

That could sound like a PowerShell issue. Have you tried to to run it like this ./gradlew --continue runTaskForChangedProjects "-PchangedProjectsTask.run" to stop it parsing it.

[mklueh]

@Crimix thanks this helped.

I've discovered another problem.

My original command looked like this:

- name: Build Applications and push to Docker Registry
        run: >
          ./gradlew --continue -p applications build 
          -Dquarkus.container-image.build=true 
          -Dquarkus.container-image.push=true 
          -Dquarkus.package.type=native
          -Dquarkus.jib.base-registry-password=${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} 
          -Dquarkus.jib.base-registry-username=${{ github.repository_owner }}

It seems putting these additional parameters behind this Gradle plugin will not pass them through to the actual task.

it basically does nothing

 ./gradlew --continue runTaskForChangedProjects -DchangedProjectsTask.run -Dquarkus.container-image.build=true -Dquarkus.container-image.push=true -Dquarkus.package.type=native
Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.

I also can't put them into the config

taskToRun = "build -Dquarkus.container-image.build=true -Dquarkus.container-image.push=true -Dquarkus.package.type=native" //One of the main use cases of the plugin

What options are there to delegate the parameters?

[Crimix]

I designed the plugin mostly with testing in mind. The taskToRun is a single task that should exist in every subproject that gets run if files in that project is considered changed, it's not a command string (that just how Gradle works)

What are you trying to accomplish?

[mklueh]

My overall use case is maintaining and developing multiple applications in a monorepo and handling the build and deployment of applications automatically when the application modules or dependent library modules have changed

With regards to the parameters, I basically have different build behavior during CI vs local, and I do not want to put those properties into application.properties, but pass them into the task when calling it.

With that approach it is for example also possible to build one application normally, while the other is a native build.

[Crimix]

I just saw that in the command pasted here you used -D and not -P for my parameter. It needs to be a -P

./gradlew --continue runTaskForChangedProjects -PchangedProjectsTask.run -Dquarkus.container-image.build=true -Dquarkus.container-image.push=true -Dquarkus.package.type=native

[mklueh]

@Crimix thanks, you are right! It now works.

[mklueh]

However, the problem is, it now tries to build and deploy all dependent modules as well, not only the applications.

As stated here https://github.com/Crimix/ChangedProjectsTaskPlugin/issues/3 if there was a way to only execute the build commands for the application modules and let the library module builds getting handled with it instead of triggering build for each module on its own, it could work.

Other than that, I see no choice in removing the params and putting them into the application.properties files of the applications

[Crimix]

Are you using changedProjectsMode=ONLY_DIRECTLY?

[Crimix]

Or are I misunderstanding what you want.

Do you want changes to library modules that affect application modules to only build those application modules, sorta a "subprojectAllowList" where only subprojects on that list get the task executed even when other subprojects are changed?

[mklueh]

I basically want to replicate what I'd normally do with the plugin, just building the applications if they have changed. But I also want to build those applications, the library modules have changed from, but not the library modules themselves.

For what I understand, using the mode ONLY_DIRECTLY the plugin would not react to dependent modules at all, correct?

By the way, how do you usually test this plugin during development? Do you just push to maven local all the time or do you have it embedded in a buildSrc directory of another project? Wonder how I could easily debug into it

[Crimix]

I use the maven local way.

What it sounds to me is that you want a way to allow/deny projects from having the task to be run on them. Such that you can say "don't build the library projects themselves, but build those applications that depend on them".

This would be simple to add as a configuration

[Crimix]

Can you try version 1.3 where you specific your library projects in the new neverRunProject configuration option

[mklueh]

@Crimix thank you very much, amazing! I'll try it in the evening!
