[GRADLE-2671] Project extensions cannot be dependency injected Created: 04/Feb/13  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

Status: Resolved
Project: Gradle
Affects Version/s: 1.4
Fix Version/s: None

Type: Bug
Reporter: Luke Daley Assignee: Unassigned
Resolution: Won't Fix Votes: 0


 Description   

project.extensions.create("foo", Foo) does not work if you're relying on dependency injection.

The instantiator that the extension container has is a direct instantiator wrapped in a class generator. There should be a dependency injecting instantiator in there.

Test case (written for DynamicObjectIntegrationTest):

    void projectExtensionsCanBeDependencyInjected() {
        buildFile << """
            class FileResolverExtension {
                ${FileResolver.name} fileResolver

                @${Inject.name} FileResolverExtension(${FileResolver.name} fileResolver) {
                    this.fileResolver = fileResolver
                }

                File file(file) {
                    fileResolver.file(file)
                }
            }

            extensions.create("fileResolver", FileResolverExtension)

            task resolveFiles << {
                println fileResolver.file("foo").absolutePath
            }
        """

        final result = executer.withTasks("resolveFiles").withArgument("-s").run()

        assert result.output.contains(file("foo").absolutePath)
    }

Fails with:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not find any public constructor for class FileResolverExtension_Decorated which accepts parameters [].
