Gradle Artifactory Plugin - How to publish artifacts from multiple modules in a project?

Question

I have a project which has a SharedCode (Java) module and secondly an Android (Android library) module which depends on the SharedCode module. I want to publish a jar artifact from the SharedCode module and an aar artifact from the Android module. I can't figure out how to compose my build.gradle files so that both modules publish to Artifactory when the artifactoryPublish task is run. At the moment only the SharedCode module publishes its artifact to Artifactory.

My build.gradle files are as below. Note that the maven-publish aspect of my build.gradle files appears to be correct because when I run the publishToMavenLocal task I see the artifacts from both modules in my local Maven folder (i.e. '~/.m2/repository').

Firstly, the build.gradle file in my SharedCode module is as follows:

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.artifactory'

group = "${projectGroupId}"
version = "${projectVersionName}"

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.guava:guava:18.0'
}

publishing {
    publications {
        SharedCode(MavenPublication) {
            groupId "${projectGroupId}"
            artifactId 'SharedCode'
            version "${projectVersionName}"
            from components.java
        }
    }
}

artifactory {
    contextUrl = "${artifactory_url}"
    publish {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'libs-release-local'
            username = "${artifactory_username}"
            password = "${artifactory_password}"
        }
        defaults {
            publications('SharedCode')
            publishArtifacts = true
            properties = ['qa.level': 'basic', 'dev.team': 'core']
            publishPom = true
        }
    }
}

Secondly, the build.gradle file in my Android module is as follows:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.artifactory'

group = "${projectGroupId}"
version = "${projectVersionName}"

android {
    // android stuff here...
}

dependencies {
    compile project(':SharedCode')
}

publishing {
    publications {
        Android(MavenPublication) {
            groupId "${projectGroupId}"
            artifactId 'Android'
            version "${projectVersionName}"
            artifact "$buildDir/outputs/aar/Android-release.aar"
        }
    }
}

artifactory {
    contextUrl = "${artifactory_url}"
    publish {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'libs-release-local'
            username = "${artifactory_username}"
            password = "${artifactory_password}"
        }
        defaults {
            publications('Android')
            publishArtifacts = true
            properties = ['qa.level': 'basic', 'dev.team': 'core']
            publishPom = true
        }
    }
}

If I run the artifactoryPublish task at the root, project level or at the SharedCode module level then I see output as follows:

18:23:38: Executing external task 'artifactoryPublish'...
Publication named 'SharedCode' does not exist for project ':Android' in task ':Android:artifactoryPublish'.
:SharedCode:generatePomFileForSharedCodePublication
:SharedCode:artifactoryPublish
Deploying artifact: http://localhost:8081/artifactory/libs-release-local/com/mycompany/sdk/SharedCode/0.0.2/SharedCode-0.0.2.jar
Deploying artifact: http://localhost:8081/artifactory/libs-release-local/com/mycompany/sdk/SharedCode/0.0.2/SharedCode-0.0.2.pom
Deploying build descriptor to: http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/build Build successfully deployed.
Browse it in Artifactory under http://localhost:8081/artifactory/webapp/builds/client-sdk/1457375019604

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Note that only the SharedCode artifact is published in this case.

If I run the artifactoryPublish task at the Android module level, then I see output as follows:

18:25:25: Executing external task 'artifactoryPublish'...
Publication named 'SharedCode' does not exist for project ':Android' in task ':Android:artifactoryPublish'.
:Android:artifactoryPublish
Deploying build descriptor to: http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/build
Build successfully deployed. Browse it in Artifactory under http://localhost:8081/artifactory/webapp/builds/client-sdk/1457375127269

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Note that no artifacts are published in this case.

Going by artifactory multi-project examples on their github repo, it would seem that only the root project needs to have an artifactory{...} configuration section as opposed to in every sub-project as you have done.

Moreover when you declare publications('SharedCode') in the root project, artifactory plugin seems to be looking for a publication called sharedCode in every subproject.

I would try:

• Remove the artifactory{...} section from the android build.gradle

• Rename the android publication to sharedCode as well (or something more generic in both projects)
