Renovate: Support for Gradle behind proxy

[patrickmarabeas]

Gradle unable to get required resources. Should these be baked into image?

renovate.json

{
  "gradle": {
    "enabled": true
  }
}

Log output:

I assume you're passing HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY into the Pro container?

Looks like Gradle needs such settings configured manually rather than via environment: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#sec:accessing_the_web_via_a_proxy

[patrickmarabeas]

Unfortunately no wider internet access from this environment.

Didn't have any success caching the dependencies in the image. Next thought is to setup redirects in the image to hit an Artifactory mirror.

[matthargett]

We have a similar situation where we need it to hit a maven mirror in artifactor, and an npm mirror in npm Enterprise.

[rarkins]

@matthargett I assume the npm part works for you? And that when you mention maven repository then is it for Gradle or Maven?

[rarkins]

We're working on a JS-based rewrite of the Gradle parsing and updating, this will then "automatically" work with proxies: https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/issues/3608

@patrickmarabeas are you still trialing Renovate?

[patrickmarabeas]

Not actively at this point.

NPM / Artifactory / mirrors have been validated as working. Working on getting a project to start properly trialling it.

Gradle and Helm support are needed before any other integration is possible.

[rarkins]

I've transferred this into the main repo because it relates to a proxy feature for Gradle that is not specific to the Pro version

[rarkins]

From https://stackoverflow.com/a/22666646/3005034

Looks like we can pass to gradlew through CLI: gradlew -Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 - Dhttps.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttps.proxyPort=3129 -Dhttps.proxyUser=user -Dhttps.proxyPassword=pass -Dhttp.proxyUser=user -Dhttp.proxyPassword=pass -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=host1.com|host2.com

[rarkins]

I'm marking this as ready but would need someone willing and able to test out a feature branch with a real setup before I would start it.

Hey. Any updates? Seems we are struggeling with the same issue.

./gradlew --init-script renovate-plugin.gradle renovate

throws ConnectionException behind proxy. GRADLE_OPTS and http_proxy/https_proxy are not working.

A community pr would be welcome, as no maintainer is using a proxy setup. 🙃

I switched to the new gradle-lite manager. Seems to work 😃
