@CacheableTask
public class WriteProperties
extends DefaultTask

Writes a Properties in a way that the results can be expected to be reproducible.

There are a number of differences compared to how properties are stored:

• no timestamp comment is generated at the beginning of the file
• the lines in the resulting files are separated by a pre-set separator (defaults to '\n') instead of the system default line separator
• the properties are sorted alphabetically

Like with Properties, Unicode characters are escaped when using the default Latin-1 (ISO-8559-1) encoding.

Since:

3.3

Method Detail

getProperties

@Input
public Map<String,String> getProperties()

Returns an immutable view of properties to be written to the properties file.

Since:

3.3

setProperties

public void setProperties(Map<String,Object> properties)

Sets all properties to be written to the properties file replacing any existing properties.

See Also:

properties(Map), property(String, Object)

property

public void property(String name,
                     Object value)

Adds a property to be written to the properties file.

A property's value will be coerced to a String with String#valueOf(Object) or a Callable returning a value to be coerced into a String.

Values are not allowed to be null.

Parameters:

name - Name of the property

value - Value of the property

Since:

3.4

properties

public void properties(Map<String,Object> properties)

Adds multiple properties to be written to the properties file.

This is a convenience method for calling property(String, Object) multiple times.

Parameters:

properties - Properties to be added

Since:

3.4

See Also:

property(String, Object)

getLineSeparator

@Input
public String getLineSeparator()

Returns the line separator to be used when creating the properties file. Defaults to `\n`.

setLineSeparator

public void setLineSeparator(String lineSeparator)

Sets the line separator to be used when creating the properties file.

getComment

@Nullable
@Optional
@Input
public String getComment()

Returns the optional comment to add at the beginning of the properties file.

setComment

public void setComment(@Nullable
                       String comment)

Sets the optional comment to add at the beginning of the properties file.

getEncoding

@Input
public String getEncoding()

Returns the encoding used to write the properties file. Defaults to ISO_8859_1. If set to anything different, unicode escaping is turned off.

setEncoding

public void setEncoding(String encoding)

Sets the encoding used to write the properties file. Defaults to ISO_8859_1. If set to anything different, unicode escaping is turned off.

getOutputFile

@OutputFile
public File getOutputFile()

Returns the output file to write the properties to.

setOutputFile

public void setOutputFile(File outputFile)

Sets the output file to write the properties to.

Since:

4.0

setOutputFile

public void setOutputFile(Object outputFile)

Sets the output file to write the properties to.

writeProperties

public void writeProperties()
                     throws IOException

Throws:

IOException
