Ability to set port for all services in multi-service setup

[kriim]

We just migrated from a single-service project to a multi-service project while using v2.0.0-rc3 of this plugin.

Our setup is equivalent to the one mentioned here:

• 265

• https://github.com/loosebazooka/simple-appengine-app/tree/master/multi-service

Is there a way to define a port for the non-default modules? The following approach only worked for the default module.

appengine {
   run {
       port = 8005
       ...
   }
}

It depends on what you do,

1. You should be able to use modules api in com.google.appengine:appengine-api-1.0-sdk if you just want to talk to all the other services like this. I would recommend this approach as it will work in your production application as well:

   ModulesService modulesService = ModulesServiceFactory.getModulesService();
   for (String module : modulesService.getModules()) {
     // "no_version" is the version in the devappserver for modules.
     System.out.println(modulesService.getVersionHostname(module, "no_version")));
   }

2. You can specify ports directly I think using a system property (in your build.gradle):

   appengine {
     run {
       jvmFlags = ['-Dcom.google.appengine.devappserver_module.MY_MODULE.port=8090']
     }
   }

Great, thanks, I was looking for something like the system property you mentioned in 2.

(It's just for local testing of a cron job service, so that the port won't change on every restart.)
