Document Snapshot Deployment

[codeconsole]

Document the Requirements for Deploying to the Snapshot Repository

Discuss

1. Should SNAPSHOTs continue to go to jfrog starting with 7.x?
2. Should the SNAPSHOT process require different configuration from the deployment process?

Goals

1. Configure https://github.com/gpc/export to publish to Snapshot Repository
2. Configure https://github.com/grails/grails-boot
3. Fix gradle.plugin is mistakenly publishing a pom under grails-core
   org/grails/grails-core/org.grails.grails-core.gradle.plugin/ Unwanted Artifact?

Working Snapshots
grails-core
grails-gradle-plugin
grails-bom

Not Working
grails-gsp
neo-4j

From @matrei

An example of a simple module, publishing snapshots, is scaffolding.
It uses the org.grails.internal.grails-plugin-publish gradle plugin from grails-gradle-plugin.

build.gradle

plugins {
    id 'java-library'
    id 'eclipse'
    id 'idea'
    id 'org.grails.grails-plugin'
    id 'org.grails.grails-gsp'
    id 'org.grails.internal.grails-plugin-publish'
}
grailsPublish {
    userOrg = "grails"
    githubSlug = 'grails/scaffolding'
    license {
        name = 'Apache-2.0'
    }
    title = "Grails Scaffolding Plugin"
    desc = "Provides scaffolding for Grails applications"
    developers = [puneetbehl: "Puneet Behl"]
}

Then, in the gradle.yml github workflow it publishes on pushevents:

publish:
    if: github.event_name == 'push'
    needs: ['build']
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Set up JDK
        uses: actions/setup-java@v4
        with:
          distribution: 'adopt'
          java-version: '11'
      - name: Publish Artifacts (repo.grails.org)
        id: publish
        uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v3
        env:
          GRADLE_ENTERPRISE_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.GRADLE_ENTERPRISE_ACCESS_KEY }}
          GRADLE_ENTERPRISE_BUILD_CACHE_NODE_USER: ${{ secrets.GRADLE_ENTERPRISE_BUILD_CACHE_NODE_USER }}
          GRADLE_ENTERPRISE_BUILD_CACHE_NODE_KEY: ${{ secrets.GRADLE_ENTERPRISE_BUILD_CACHE_NODE_KEY }}
          ARTIFACTORY_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.ARTIFACTORY_USERNAME }}
          ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD }}
        with:
          arguments: -Dorg.gradle.internal.publish.checksums.insecure=true publish

Where is scaffolding publishing to?

[codeconsole]

@matrei is scaffolding going to the right place?

[matrei]

@codeconsole https://repo.grails.org/ui/native/plugins3-snapshots-local/org/grails/plugins/scaffolding/

[matrei]

Here is where the snapshot location is specified: https://github.com/grails/grails-gradle-plugin/blob/c640157b5eaab309577981694c9e282aeab678c8/src/main/groovy/org/grails/gradle/plugin/publishing/internal/GrailsCentralPublishGradlePlugin.groovy#L335

[codeconsole]

ok, it goes to instead of plugins3-snapshots-locall instead of libs-snapshots-local Thanks

Should SNAPSHOTs continue to go to jfrog starting with 7.x?

Are SNAPSHOTs currently being published to jfrog? I believe they may only be published to Artifactory. Is that correct?

@osscontributor Sorry for me perhaps being ignorant, but isn't JFrog a company, and Artifactory their product for publishing and hosting artifacts? If so, in the context of this discussion, doesn't these two terms mean the same thing?

that what I thought, but now I am confused.

Looks like Neo 4j neglected and not deploying snapshots: grails/gorm-neo4j#603 (comment)
