PersistentCounter

this plugin counts numbers up, those numbers are persisted between builds and saved using a combination of the project, value name and value key if any of those changes the number resets to the default (1) so by using your version as a key, you get a buildnumber that resets on a version bump

Gradle Plugin

https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/moe.nikky.persistentCounter

or from http://maven.modmuss50.me/

plugins {
  id("mode.nikky.persistentCounter") version "0.0.8-SNAPSHOT"
}

Tasks

for each variable it will register the tasks:

• ${variable}
• ${variable}Increment
• ${variable}Decrement
• ${variable}Set argument example: --setValue=7
• ${variable}Reset

Usage Example:

kotlin-dsl:

import moe.nikky.counter.CounterExtension

val counter: CounterExtension = project.extensions.getByType()
val buildnumber = counter.variable(id = "buildnumber", key = "$major.$minor.$patch")

version = "$major.$minor.$patch-$buildnumber"

groovy (wip):

import moe.nikky.counter.CounterExtension

// not sure how to directly access extension types in groovy
val buildnumber = counter.variable(id = "buildnumber", key = "$major.$minor.$patch")

version = "$major.$minor.$patch-$buildnumber"

Full Example

import moe.nikky.counter.CounterExtension

val major = Constants.major
val minor = Constants.minor
val patch = Constants.patch


val counter: CounterExtension = extensions.getByType()

val buildnumber = counter.variable(id = "buildnumber", key = "$major.$minor.$patch")
val otherCounter = counter.variable(id = "otherCounter", key = "$someProperty") {
  default = 0
}
