In Gradle I have a file stored on the Internet that I would like to access. But I can't figure out how to convert a URL
to a File
in Gradle. I need the url to be converted to a file so I can pass it to tasks as a file. Here is what I have so far:
allprojects {
afterEvaluate { project ->
String file = new URL('http://techslides.com/demos/samples/sample.json').file
}
}
this is definetly not what i want. The file variable ends up being: demos/samples/sample.json
so it looks like it's just taking the path from the url itself.
I need the actual sample.json
to be stored in a File
object. I would also prefer if possible to not have to write the file to local storage where it is accessible to other people as its a secure file.
The simplest way to do this:
def fileLocation = 'file://techslides.com/demos/samples/sample.json'
def fileURL = new URL(fileLocation)
def remoteFile = new File(fileURL.toURI())
See: File(URI uri)
Replace fileLocation
with valid value for your task.
As of May 4, 2018, Gradle 4.8 RC1 or later, if you are facing this problem using checkstyle, you can use
checkstyle {
toolVersion = "8.13"
config project.resources.text.fromUri("${someUrl}/checkstyle.xml")
}
