Bintray VCS Tagging

So I have a Bintray repository, but I'm having difficulty uploading to it from gradle. Well, what I mean is version management is not working how I want it, currently for every single .jar I upload, I have to increment the version in my configuration, and dependencies. I know this is not how it's supposed to be done. My question is how do I automate/implement VCS tagging with Bintray. Right now my configuration for uploading looks like so (using the bintray plugin):

bintray {
user = "$bintrayUser"
key = "$bintrayKey"
publications = ['maven']
dryRun = false
publish = true
pkg {
    repo = "$targetBintrayRepo"
    name = "$targetBintrayPackage"
    desc = ''
    websiteUrl = "$programWebsiteUrl"
    issueTrackerUrl = "$programIssueUrl"
    vcsUrl = "$programVcsUrl"
    licenses = ["$programLicense"]
    labels = []
    publicDownloadNumbers = true

    version {
        name = "$programVersion"
        released = new java.util.Date()
        vcsTag = "$programVcsTag"
    }

}
}

And my variables are:

def programVersion = '0'
def programVcsTag = '0.0.0'
def programGroup = 'com.gmail.socraticphoenix'
def targetBintrayRepo = 'Main'
def targetBintrayPackage = 'java-api'
def programLicense = 'MIT'
def programWebsiteUrl = 'https://github.com/meguy26/PlasmaAPI'
def programIssueUrl = 'https://github.com/meguy26/PlasmaAPI/issues'
def programVcsUrl = 'https://github.com/meguy26/PlasmaAPI.git'

Yet here no tags appear, and running publish again (even with a different vcs tag) results in a version already exists error. (Could not upload to 'https://api.bintray.com/content/meguy26/Main/java-api/0/com/gmail/socraticphoenix/PlasmaAPI/0/PlasmaAPI-0.jar': HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict [message:Unable to upload files: An artifact with the path 'com/gmail/socraticphoenix/PlasmaAPI/0/PlasmaAPI-0.jar' already exists])

Sorry if I'm being noobish, but I don't understand why its not working, I filled out all the appropriate variables (I thought)

Solution

  • Bintray does not support multiple tags per version. Version is a unique string. If you want to release something from the same version with different tags, compose a Bintray version string with from your program version and tag, e.g. "$programVersion-$programVcsTag"
