On behalf of the Spring Cloud team it is my pleasure to announce a new milestone release of Spring Cloud Pipelines - 1.0.0.M2. Apart from some bug fixes it’s providing an out of the box support for Gradle projects.

In order for the Gradle project to work out of the box the following opinionated decisions were taken:

• usage of Gradlew Wrapper

• custom deploy task is used for artifacts deployment

• running smoke tests on a deployed app via the custom smoke task

• running end to end tests on a deployed app via the custom e2e task

• custom groupId task to retrieve group id

• custom artifactId task to retrieve artifact id

• custom currentVersion task to retrieve the current version

• custom stubIds task to retrieve list of collaborators for which stubs should be downloaded

Example implementation of these tasks can be found here. We’re pasting its contents below:

test {
    description = "Task to run unit and integration tests"
    testLogging {
        exceptionFormat = 'full'
    }
    jvmArgs = systemPropsFromGradle()
    exclude 'smoke/**'
    exclude 'e2e/**'
}

task smoke(type: Test) {
    description = "Task to run smoke tests"
    testLogging {
        exceptionFormat = 'full'
    }
    jvmArgs = systemPropsFromGradle()
    include 'smoke/**'
}

task e2e(type: Test) {
    description = "Task to run end to end tests"
    testLogging {
        exceptionFormat = 'full'
    }
    jvmArgs = systemPropsFromGradle()
    include 'e2e/**'
}

task deploy(dependsOn: 'publish') {
    description = "Abstraction over publishing artifacts to Artifactory / Nexus"
}

task groupId << {
    println projectGroupId
}
groupId.description = "Task to retrieve Group ID"

task artifactId << {
    println projectArtifactId
}
artifactId.description = "Task to retrieve Artifact ID"

task currentVersion << {
    println projectVersion
}
currentVersion.description = "Task to retrieve version"

task stubIds << {
    println stubrunnerIds
}
stubIds.description = "Task to retrieve Stub Runner IDS"

[test, smoke, e2e, deploy, groupId, artifactId, currentVersion, stubIds].each {
    it.group = "Pipeline"
}

private List<String> systemPropsFromGradle() {
    return project.gradle.startParameter.systemPropertiesArgs.entrySet().collect { "-D${it.key}=${it.value}" }
}

Unlike most of Spring projects this one is not available at any repository since it’s not a library, but instead it is available as a github repo for you to download and use as template for creating a deployment pipeline.
