[SOLVED] Marklogic upgrade - creating local plugin repo

Marklogic upgrade - creating local plugin repo

Our servers are not allowed to access internet, and I need to create and use a local repository ( the C:\Plugins directory ) located on the server having its MarkLogic Data Hub v4.1.1 upgraded.

We need to modify the local build.gradle file to use the repository containing the following 2 plugins ( shown in "plugins" section ).

This is current build.gradle file:

   plugins {
      // Gradle Properties plugin
      id 'net.saliman.properties' version '1.4.6'

      // Data Hub plugin
      id 'com.marklogic.ml-data-hub' version '4.3.2'
   }


repositories {

if (project.hasProperty("disconnected") && !"FALSE".equalsIgnoreCase(disconnected)) {
       println "using offline repositories"
       mavenLocal()
} else { 
        println"Using online repositories"
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://developer.marklogic.com/maven2/" }
        }
}

I have managed to create a local Maven repo and Gradle repo which work well ( using code above in "repositories" section ), but need assistance with these plugins.

If I can get this last part to work, I should have a fully offline hub upgrade process, which will be incredibly useful.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you.

Solution

You need quite a few pieces to get it fully working in offline mode:

local maven repo in buildscripts and repositories
a copy of gradlew that has been edited to use a local dir for gradle home, and has its own copy of gradle dist (which kind of beats its purpose, but not entirely)
and to make plugins work properly, you also need a settings.gradle with pluginManagement.repositories pointing to local maven as well

HTH!
