Upload only war/jar files in gradle(restrict zip/tar generation and upload)

Question

My build script is like as follows. I use gradle build command to build and gradle upload command to upload the artifact. My problem is a tar,zip file is also generated with this command and get uploaded. I dont want it. Only things I would like to get uploaded is 'jar' and 'war' files. I have also a related question posted by me yesterday here.

More details(I have excluded some unwanted code)

Answer 1

Included the following code snippet in my gradle file

[distZip, distTar].each { task -> configurations.archives.artifacts.removeAll
{ it.class.simpleName == "ArchivePublishArtifact" && it.archiveTask == task }

task.enabled = false
}

For more details refer this link. Its issue with spring boot plugin.

Answer 2

arjuncc's solution doesn't seem to work on Gradle 4.10.2, so here's one that works and uses public APIs, hopefully it will continue to work.

configurations.archives.artifacts.removeAll {
    // exclude from the archives configuration all artifacts that were generated by distZip & distTar
    def depTasks = it.getBuildDependencies().getDependencies()
    depTasks.contains(distZip) || depTasks.contains(distTar)  
}

Answer 3

More or less the same as ajuncc's solution, but perhaps a bit more simple. Remove all .tar artifacts from the archives configuration:

configurations.archives.artifacts.removeAll {PublishArtifact publishArtifact -> publishArtifact.type == 'tar'}
