Gradle Set Versions Plugin

Simple plugin to modify gradle versions directly in build files or properties. No metadata file, no specific flow constraints.

Usage

You can add this plugin to your top-level or modules build script.

In a groovy 'build.gradle' build file :

plugins {
  id "com.github.ldenisey.setversions" version "$version"
}

In a kotlin 'build.gradle.kts' build file :

plugins {
  id("com.github.ldenisey.setversions") version "$version"
}

Tasks

getVersions

This task displays the current version of your project, optionally updated by suffix addition/removal and/or incrementation.

The new version is not applied, to do so use the task setVersions. As both tasks use the same logic internally you can use getVersions task for dry run execution.

When modifying current version, it is expected to have :

• an optional prefix matching [A-Za-z0-9/_-]* regex
• a base version made of at least 2 numbers separated by points ((\d+.)+\d+ regex)
• an optional suffix matching [A-Za-z0-9/_-]* regex

Quick examples :

Project version	Command	Result
1.2.3-SNAPSHOT	./gradlew getVersions	1.2.3-SNAPSHOT
1.2.3-SNAPSHOT	./gradlew getVersions --suffix=false	1.2.3
1.2.3-SNAPSHOT	./gradlew getVersions --new-version=2.0.0	2.0.0
1.2.3-SNAPSHOT	./gradlew getVersions --suffix=rc	1.2.3-rc
1.2.3-SNAPSHOT	./gradlew getVersions --increment=1 --suffix=false	2.0.0
1.2.3-SNAPSHOT	./gradlew getVersions --increment=technical	1.2.4-SNAPSHOT
1.2.3-SNAPSHOT	./gradlew getVersions --increment=minor --suffix=false	1.3.0
1.2.3-SNAPSHOT	./gradlew getVersions --prefix=id/12	id/12-1.2.3-SNAPSHOT
v1.2	./gradlew getVersions --increment=major	v2.0
v1.2	./gradlew getVersions --increment=2 --suffix=dev	v1.3-dev
feature/42-1.2.3.4-alpha	./gradlew getVersions --increment=4	feature/42-1.2.3.5-alpha
feature/42-1.2.3.4-alpha	./gradlew getVersions --increment=-1	feature/42-1.2.3.5-alpha
feature/42-1.2.3.4-alpha	./gradlew getVersions --prefix=false	42-1.2.3.4-alpha

Plugin configuration

defaultSuffix

Default suffix value used by --suffix=true option. 'SNAPSHOT' by default, you can set it in your 'build.gradle', for example :

versions {
  defaultSuffix = 'dev'
}

skipSet

Boolean to disable version update on a specific module.

versions {
  skipSet = true
}

Task options

new-version

String option to define a new version from scratch, regardless of existing version value.

For example ./gradlew getVersions --new-version=1.2.3-SNAPSHOT returns 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT.

suffix

String option to add or replace a suffix. Can be set to any alphanumerical string, except true and false. The suffix is separated from base version with -.

--suffix=true will append the project's default suffix. --suffix=false will trim it.

increment

Use this option to increment base version digits. Specify the position of the version digit to increment, all digits on the right of the incremented digit will be set to 0.

Position can be set with :

• a positive integer, 1 being first on the left
• a negative integer, -1 being last digit on the right.
• an alias :
  • major for first digit
  • minor for second digit
  • technical for third digit

For examples, if current version is 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT, executing ./gradlew getVersions --increment=1 will return 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT. It is equivalent to ./gradlew getVersions --increment=-3 and ./gradlew getVersions --increment=major

setVersions

This task updates the project/modules versions.

Its options to generate a new version are shared with getVersions task task, refer to it for options.

There are several ways to define versions in gradle. As of now, this task can update versions defined in project/modules build files, gradle.properties and in build scripts defined in buildSrc (see gradle sample).
