HTML tags stripping

[rtsisyk]

It looks like that Huawei's AppGallery doesn't support HTML tags in the release notes and description, like Google Play does.

Please consider adding automated stripping of HTML tags to allow sharing of the same description with Google Play.

@rtsisyk Hi! I don't like idea to add some html tags stripper into the plugin because it should be stupid and not thinging about what a release notes text it got. But inspired your idea I'm going to add new param text which would hight priorited then filePath. So you can create function in gradle build script wich would fetch release noted and strip html from text on your side.

For example

huaweiPublish {
    instances {
        create("release") {
            releaseNotes = listOf(
                ru.cian.huawei.publish.ReleaseNote(
                    lang = "ru-RU",
                    text = getReleaseNotes("$projectDir/release-notes-ru.txt")
                ),
                ru.cian.huawei.publish.ReleaseNote(
                    lang = "en-US",
                    text = getReleaseNotes("$projectDir/release-notes-en.txt")
                )
            )
        }   
    }
}

and

fun getReleaseNotes(filePath: String): String {
    return File(filePath).readAll().replaceAll("\\<[^>]*>","")
}

What do you think about it?

The best option would be to support Triple-T structure out of the box.

@rtsisyk How does Triple-T Release Notes structure help us to solve problem that AppGallery doesn't support html tags?

@rtsisyk Hi! Please try a new 1.4.1-SNAPSHOT version with a new removeHtmlTags parameter. For more information see README/snapshot-1.4.1.

Pay attention I've changed releaseNotes block. Instead of

           releaseNotes = listOf(
                ru.cian.rustore.publish.ReleaseNote(
                          lang = "en-US",
                          filePath = "$projectDir/release-notes-en.txt"
                ),
            )

new configuration

          releaseNotes = ru.cian.huawei.publish.ReleaseNotesExtension(
              descriptions = listOf(
                  ru.cian.huawei.publish.ReleaseNote(
                          lang = "en-US",
                          filePath = "$projectDir/release-notes-en.txt"
                  )
              ),
              removeHtmlTags = false
          )

And I remember you are using a trick to support Google Play languages. A new version should be

huaweiPublish {
  instances {
    huaweiRelease {
      credentialsPath = "$rootDir/huawei-appgallery.json"
      buildFormat = 'aab'
      deployType = 'draft' // confirm manually
      releaseDescriptions = []
      def localeOverride = [
          'am' : 'am-ET',
          'gu': 'gu_IN',
          'iw-IL': 'he_IL',
          'kn-IN': 'kn_IN',
          'ml-IN': 'ml_IN',
          'mn-MN': 'mn_MN',
          'mr-IN': 'mr_IN',
          'ta-IN': 'ta_IN',
          'te-IN': 'te_IN',
      ]
      def files = fileTree(dir: "$projectDir/src/google/play/release-notes",
          include: '**/default.txt')
      files.each { File file ->
        def path = file.getPath()
        def locale = file.parentFile.getName()
        locale = localeOverride.get(locale, locale)
        releaseDescriptions.add(new ru.cian.huawei.publish.ReleaseNote(locale, path))
      }
      releaseNotes = new ru.cian.huawei.publish.ReleaseNotesExtension(releaseDescriptions, true)
    }
  }
}

Wow, fantastic! Sorry for the silence. I will try.

@rtsisyk Hi! In 1.4.1 version has been found a small issue. Please try 1.4.2.
