[GRADLE-3281] Plugin publishing plugin ignores publishing keys set in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties when there's a project-local gradle.properties Created: 14/Apr/15  Updated: 14/Jan/16  Resolved: 14/Jan/16

 Description   

From the forums:

The documentation on the plugin portal states that gradle.publish.key and gradle.publish.secret should be configured in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties. However, it doesn't appear to work:

Execution failed for task ':publishPlugins'.
> Missing publishing keys. Please set gradle.publish.key and gradle.publish.secret system properties or login using the login task.

I've verified that the properties are configured correctly by outputting them from the build script:

println project.getProperty('gradle.publish.key')
println project.getProperty('gradle.publish.secret')

Strangely, if I remove my project's gradle.properties file, it works as expected and uses the properties configured in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties.

Can confirm this. This is especially annoying within a multi module project.

This is killing me. I can't upload from CI without putting my API keys in my project's local gradle.properties (clearly not a good idea for an open source plugin).

@Ned Twigg You can work around this by setting these properties to the command line definition that runs on your CI, so you do not have check it in with `gradle.properties`.

$> ./gradlew publishPlugins -Dgradle.publish.key=foo -Dgradle.publish.secret=bar

or under certain circumstances you may need to use -P instead of -D

@Holger Stolzenberg Thanks very much! This fixed it.

Same problem here when trying to use both release plugin and publishing plugin:

Another workaround is to set system properties inside build.gradle:

System.setProperty('gradle.publish.key', project.properties['gradle.publish.key'] ?: '')
System.setProperty('gradle.publish.secret', project.properties['gradle.publish.secret'] ?: '')

With this, publishPlugins could be called without parameters

This has been fixed in version 0.9.3 of the plugin
