Purpose

This contains a number of plugins for making it easier to work with Gradle and Adobe CQ/AEM.

Installation

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "http://dl.bintray.com/twcable/aem"
        }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath "com.twcable.gradle:cq-gradle-plugins:2.0.3"
    }
}

Plugins

CQ Package Plugin

Usage

apply plugin: 'cqpackage'

The standard Gradle 'base' plugin is automatically applied.

Tasks

• createPackage - Creates the CQ Package zip file. (Depends on the jar tasks of the projects that are a part of the cq_package configuration.)
• install - Issues the command to CQ to install the uploaded package.
• uninstall - Uninstalls the CQ Package. If the package is not on the server, nothing happens. (i.e., This does not fail if the package is not on the server.)
• reinstall - Reinstalls (removes then uploads and installs a fresh copy) the CQ Package. (Depends on clean, uninstall, remove, install, verifyBundles)
• installPackage - Installs the CQ Package
• validateBundles - Checks all the JARs that are included in the package to make sure they are installed and in an ACTIVE state and gives a report of any that are not. This task polls in the case the bundles are newly installed.
• installRemote - Issues the command to CQ to install the uploaded package to a remote server defined by -Denvironment, -DenvJson, and -Dpackage.
• validateRemoteBundles - Validates remote bundles in the CQ Package are started correctly
• upload - Upload the package to all the servers defined by the slingServers configuration.
• uploadRemote - Upload the package to all the servers defined by -Denvironment, -DenvJson, and -Dpackage.
• remove - Removes the package from CQ. Does not fail if the package was not on the server to begin with.
• uninstallBundles - Downloads the currently installed package .zip file if it exists, compiles list of bundles based off what is currently installed, then stops and uninstalls each bundles individually. A final refreshAllBundles is performed.
• installRemoteTask - Installs a specified CQ Package to a remote environment
• verifyBundles - Checks all the JARs that are included in the package to make sure they are OSGi compliant, and gives a report of any that are not. Never causes the build to fail.
• addBundlesToFilterXml - Adds the bundles to the filter.xml
• checkBundleStatus - Check Bundle Status
• startInactiveBundles - Asynchronously attempts to start any bundle in RESOLVED state.

Added by the 'base' plugin:

• assemble - Calls createPackage.
• clean - Removes the build directory.

Configuration

Convention: slingServers

By default, the plugin is initialized with the following effective configuration:

slingServers.with {
  retryWaitMs = 1000
  maxWaitValidateBundlesMs = 10000
  clusterAuths = false
  clusterPubs = false
  uninstallBundlesPredicate = { false }
  author.with {
    protocol = 'http'
    port = 4502
    machineName = 'localhost'
    username = 'admin'
    password = 'admin'
    installPath = '/apps/install'
    active = true
  }
  publisher.with {
    protocol = 'http'
    port = 4503
    machineName = 'localhost'
    username = 'admin'
    password = 'admin'
    installPath = '/apps/install'
    active = true
  }
}

To change the password for the author instance, for example, in the build.gradle file do

slingServers.author.password = 'other_password'

The active property determines if it will try to interact with that server. If it has a problem connecting to the server, it is automatically set to be false so it does not keep trying to attach to a server that is not running.

If envJson and environment properties are defined, the list of servers for this environment are extracted from the JSON file. See EnvironmentJsonFileReader

Dependency Configuration: cq_package

Example usage:

dependencies {
    cq_package project(':project-name')
    cq_package "net.tanesha:recaptcha4j:1.0.0"
}

configurations.cq_package {
    exclude group: 'javax.servlet', module: 'servlet-api'
}

SCR Plugin

Usage

apply plugin: 'scr'

Applying the plugin implicitly applies the osgi plugin and adds a dependency from the jar task upon processScrAnnotations.

Tasks

• processScrAnnotations - Processes the x-doclet style and @SCR annotations to create the appropriate OSGi metadata for OSGi Declarative Services.

Sling Bundle Plugin

Usage

apply plugin: 'sling-bundle'

Tasks

• uploadBundle - Uploads the bundle to the CQ server. The task will fail if the bundle fails to start.
• deleteBundle - Removes the current bundle from CQ. This task will not fail if the bundle does not exist.
• refreshAllBundles - Tells CQ to refresh all the bundles. This gets added to the top-level project and generally a good idea to run after any of the other tasks.
• showBundle - Shows a JSON representation of the information CQ has about the bundle, including its status, what bundles it is using, and what bundles are using it to STDOUT.

Configuration

Convention: slingServers

Creates the slingServers convention object. See the "CQ Package Plugin" for details.

Convention: bundle

By default, the plugin is initialized with the following effective configuration:

bundle.with {
  name = project.name
  symbolicName = // computed from project.group and project.name
  installPath = project.slingServers.author.installPath
  sourceFile = project.jar.archivePath
  slingServers = project.slingServers
}

bundle also has a felixId property that the plugin tries to determine dynamically from the server based on the bundle's symbolic name.
