Gradle-play-publisher: Could not get unknown property 'ReleaseStatus' for extension 'play'

[kioli]

Describe the bug

I've recently migrated from 2.3.0 to 3.0.0 and I changed my build.gradle file accordingly going from this

play {
    track = "beta"
    releaseStatus = "inProgress"
    userFraction = 1
    serviceAccountCredentials = file("credentials.json")
}

to this

play {
    track.set("beta")
    userFraction.set(new Double(1))
    releaseStatus.set(ReleaseStatus.IN_PROGRESS)
    serviceAccountCredentials.set(file("credentials.json"))
}

But when I try to build my app I am presented with the following error

Could not get unknown property 'ReleaseStatus' for extension 'play' of type com.github.triplet.gradle.play.PlayPublisherExtension.

How To Reproduce

Include the play closure to the build.gradle file and sync

Versions

• Gradle Play Publisher: 3.0.0
• Gradle Wrapper: 6.5-all
• Android Gradle Plugin: 4.1.1

Tasks executed

It fails when syncing after modifying the play closure

Expected behavior

I would expect the sync to be successful

Hmmm, looks like I need to update the docs for this. Someone else just asked the same thing: https://github.com/Triple-T/gradle-play-publisher/issues/827#issuecomment-725673682

[kioli]

Right I forgot, I also use the plugin block

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'kotlin-android'
    id 'kotlin-android-extensions'
    id 'kotlin-kapt'
    id 'com.google.firebase.appdistribution'
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services'
    id 'com.github.triplet.play'
}

If I simply add the line import com.github.triplet.gradle.androidpublisher.ReleaseStatus in the file it does sync and build, though the line has the ReleaseStatus coloured in red and, despite the file syncing and allowing me to perform ./gradlew commands, it still shows as faulty with a wiggly red line under its filename

Invalidate caches and restart? 😝 If it works in Gradle, that's an IntelliJ problem and not related to this project.

[kioli]

It doesn't solve it unfortunately
But all I can say so far is that it just wrong, but it does work 👍
Thanks for your help and your great work

[SUPERCILEX]

Bummer, hopefully an update to Studio or IntelliJ will fix it.

Note to self: also add comment about user fraction needing a d in groovy.

I know this issue has been closed. But about the red lint was raised here , properly could be resovled by something like this

    play {
        ......
        //releaseStatus is the type of release, i.e. ReleaseStatus.[COMPLETED/DRAFT/HALTED/IN_PROGRESS]
        releaseStatus.set(com.github.triplet.gradle.androidpublisher.ReleaseStatus.DRAFT) 
        ......
    }

In gradle+androidstudio, i had to use the fully qualified "com.github.triplet.gradle.androidpublisher.ReleaseStatus.DRAFT" like you posted here. @SUPERCILEX Since import statement wasn't working for me, it would be helpful to add to the readme as part of migration to 3+

[micer]

Even with the fully qualified name of ReleaseStatus.DRAFT as @btseytlinTCP suggested, I'm still getting an error:
Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Could not get unknown property 'com' for extension 'play' of type com.github.triplet.gradle.play.PlayPublisherExtension.

When I remove releaseStatus property setter, there's no issue. I tried to invalidate caches and restart Android Studio, tried to run gradle build --no-build-cache, nothing works. Any idea how to fix this?

[btseytlinTCP]

@micer Perhaps your import is on the wrong fields? Example:

play {
    releaseStatus.set(com.github.triplet.gradle.androidpublisher.ReleaseStatus.COMPLETED)
    resolutionStrategy.set(com.github.triplet.gradle.androidpublisher.ResolutionStrategy.AUTO)
}

[micer]

@btseytlinTCP nope, seems to be correct:

apply plugin: 'com.github.triplet.play'

android {
    playConfigs {
        europeUkRelease {
            enabled.set(true)
        }
    }
}

play {
    enabled.set(false)
    serviceAccountCredentials.set(file("${rootDir}/../../android.json"))
    track.set("production")
    releaseStatus.set(com.github.triplet.gradle.androidpublisher.ReleaseStatus.DRAFT)
}

I have this in separated gradle file and added to module's build.gradle with apply from: "${rootDir}/gradle/google_play_publisher.gradle", but that shouldn't be a problem.

[btseytlinTCP]

i'd try

1. moving to plugins{} instead of apply plugin:

plugins {
    id("com.github.triplet.play") version("3.2.0")
}

1. Try sanity checking by moving it into the module's build.gradle file to circumvent the apply from thing you're doing and isolate the issue further

[SUPERCILEX]

Yeah, for whatever reason I don't think Gradle lets you use imports outside of the build.gradle file.

[micer]

Yes, moving all to module's build.gradle works! 🤯 Thanks guys!

For anyone having the same issue and using Triple-T plugin in buildSrc, this might help you.

We put the plugin on classpath in buildSrc/build.gradle.kts like this:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.triplet.gradle:play-publisher:3.3.0-agp4.2")
}

To have ReleaseStatus constants available you need to add aditional android-publisher module on classpath in buildSrc/build.gradle.kts:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.triplet.gradle:play-publisher:3.3.0-agp4.2")
    implementation("com.github.triplet.gradle:android-publisher:3.3.0-agp4.2")
}
