Current Development Activities

Puneet

• Noticed some issues after migrating artifacts from Bintray to Artifactory
  • Some of the plugins (For example, the export plugin) didn't make it over due to an issue with the name
  • Tried to run my script again, but it looks like the jar file from Bintray is corrupted
  • David: We have a build failing on our stuff too
  • David: It says it can't resolve the Plugins dependencies, but it is strange because it can do it for the dependency tree
  • Puneet: A user reported that they had to clean their .gradle file and after that it worked for them
  • David: What is strange is that when it displays the information, it says that it can't find a version of '.'
  • There was a reported issue with a redis plugin that was having issues and it isn't even a Bintray plugin
  • There is a package that doesn't have any files in Bintray so we weren't able to move that either

David

• I'll submit a PR to Grails 4 and 5 to update asset pipeline to the latest versions that are hosted in Maven Central
• We got Spring Loaded all updated to the latest Gradle.
  • I got it partially working on Java 11
  • It isn't far it just needs some updates

Open Discussion

Grails 5

• David: Any news on Grails 5?
• Puneet: Last I checked there were no major issues. I'm expecting to do an RC in the first week of May
• Puneet: I also need to do some dependency updates and check to see how much is left
• James: I anticipate that the first week of May we will find several issues related to Bintray going down

Checksum Issues

• When the Bintray remote repos were removed from the Artifactory virtual repos, users started reporting issues with checksums failing
• James: We put together a quick bash script to walk through the plugins and fix all the checksums
• Puneet: I ran through all of the profiles artifacts and those should be resolved as well
• James: You had mentioned before about fixing the Maven metadata, and I think I found an API option in Artifactory to fix that
  • Puneet: My concern was how the metadata would merge between snapshot versions and other versions
  • James: I think it probably picks based on the first repository that has the artifact
• James: I think we need to re-remove the profiles-bintray remote repo
  • Puneet: I agree
