Version isn't prefixed in the Gradle properties

[rivancic]

Version generated with semver plugin isn't prefixed in the Gradle properties.

If I run following command

./gradlew properties -Psemver.scope=minor -Psemver.stage=snapshot -Psemver.tagPrefix=v

I even have semver.tagPrefix=v in gradle.properties file set.

The output is without the prefix in the version

...
version: 1.5.0-SNAPSHOT
...

Is this expected? Then later I have to manually append tag prefix after extracting project version. Need to do a custom git tag push.

I am not sure what you mean.

I have a project that uses prefixes and the output for

./gradlew printSemver -P semver.scope=minor -P semver.stage=snapshot -P semver.tagPrefix=p

is

> Task :hubdle-version-catalog:printSemver
semver for hubdle-version-catalog: c0.3.2.2+69f559a

> Task :hubdle-gradle-plugin:printSemver
semver for hubdle-gradle-plugin: p0.8.0-SNAPSHOT

> Task :printSemver
semver for hubdle: p0.8.0-SNAPSHOT

If you are referring to the project.version, it will never show the tag prefix there, as it is invalid. I don't remember if Gradle crashes or if Maven Central publications will fail (I think this last one).

You shouldn't need to do any manual job.

Additionally, if you need to get the version, you can read it from a file that is already generated, for example:

The path would be: some-project/semver/version.txt

And the content:

0.8.0-SNAPSHOT
p0.8.0-SNAPSHOT

You can map the version too, but I don't recommend appending the tag prefix to project.version.

Exactly I was referring to the project.version Gradle property. In current customized pipeline this value is being used as project version and it works fine it is without prefix

When I push tags with git tag command in pipeline then I prepend proper prefix.

Thanks for the clarification.
