frgaal with gradle 7.x #6
Comments
Hello Ernie. Choosing Gradle when looking for stability isn't going to play nicely. Gradle is known for being aggresive when deprecating and removing features. If you want some stability then never forget to add gradle wrapper. All my projects that want to use Frgaal just fix the Gradle version in the wrapper to 6.8.x and then the compilation works. I find it ridiculous I cannot be on the latest version, but apparently wrapper (and not being on the latest) is the only approach to reach stability in the Gradle world. As far as I know the case of
Skipping Maven? Well, then welcome to the Ant age again! |
Thanks Yarda. I've been training myself to use the wrapper, got a copy of Oh well, backewards to 6.8.x; I liked the |
Hi @jtulach, do you plan to support Gradle7? |
Has Gradle finally created a toolchain API that would work? Is there an example to copy? Then supporting Gradle 7 would be easy. |
@konikvranik take a look at gradle/gradle#15942. You could give it a thumbs up, comment, argue the case... |
There is a new development on the Gradle side: gradle/gradle#24072 - anyone willing to experiment with Gradle 8 and Frgaal and share the findings? |
I'm new to frgaal and gradle. I've just gotten my 20+ year old project ported to gradle 7.5 from ant (decided to skip maven) and am hoping I won't feel the need to modernize its build system again before I die. I have heard, and now see, that gradle is a moving target; using the latest gradle I'd hoped to minimize the work of keeping up.
Tried frgaal with the gradle project and I'm getting weird stuff. Looking at the frgaal doc, and reading more carefully, it says works with 6.8.x. When I first read that last week, I assumed that was a minimum gradle; guess I was wrong. I thought the problem might be toolchains, and was surprised to see that toolchains were a part of 6.8 as well.
Is there a chance over the next few months of getting frgaal to work with 7.x? (at least where x==5). I'm having enough difficulty wrapping my head around the whole gadle/groovy DSL thing; not sure I'd be much help/use; but if I can assist...
Using gradle init for a lib project, flipped between 7.5.1 and 6.8.3 to demonstrate the problem. In case this is of use
