cat deploy

Simple Example

Gradle Deploy Plugin

Current working deploy scenarios:

• lancopy
  stops specified running tomcat service, copy the artifacts into the desired server directory(appends /webapps/, clears log and work directory) and then starts the tomcat service
• upload
  uploads all files and folders from specified directory to target host (using ssh (scp))

---

You can not use the gradle deploy command without specifying at least one configuration in build.gradle

If there is more than one configuration you have to use gradle deploy -PdepConfig=confName or an exception will be thrown

Example (there are currently no default values) with 3 deploy configurations (2 lancopy, 1 upload) (if there is only one configuration you can use the gradle deploy command without extra parameter.

apply plugin: 'cat-deploy'

deploy {
	anyName {
		type = 'lancopy'
		tomcatHost = '\\\\\\\\HOSTNAME'
		tomcatService = 'SERVICENAME'
		webappWar = 'artifacts'
		webappDir = '\\\\\\\\HOSTNAME\\\\PATH\\\\...'
	}
	otherName {
		type = 'lancopy'
		tomcatHost = '\\\\\\\\HOSTNAME'
		tomcatService = 'SERVICENAME'
		webappWar = 'artifacts'
		webappDir = '\\\\\\\\HOSTNAME\\\\PATH\\\\...'
	}
	example {
		type = 'upload'
		webappDir = 'artifacts'
		uploadTarget = 'xyz.example.catalysts.cc'
		uploadDir = '/some/path/example'
		username = '...'
		password = '...'
	}
}

type lancopy:
will upload all files from given webappWar directory

type upload:
will upload all files from given webappDir directory
it will create all needed folder specified by uploadDir path
does work with spaces in file / folder names

###Error handling: scp: "some remote path": No such file or directory
If you receive this message the uploadDir or one of his folders does not exist. Deploy only uses the command "mkdir" without the -p flag
