I'm trying to migrate from using Ivy to using the Aether resolver in a Grails 2.4 project.
The issue I am having is in relation to externalising the credentials. Info related to this can be found in the Grails manual here: http://grails.org/doc/latest/guide/conf.html#dependencyRepositories
There doesn't seem to be a documented way to externalise the credentials for using Maven the way you could with Ivy.
With Ivy I could place something like this into my .grails/settings.groovy
file:
grails.project.ivy.authentication = {
credentials {
realm = "My Repo"
host = "repo.mycustomrepo.com"
username = "user"
password = "password"
}
}
To use Aether, I'm forced to place the credentials block directly in my BuildConfig.groovy
like so:
repositories {
inherits true // Whether to inherit repository definitions from plugins
grailsPlugins()
grailsHome()
mavenLocal()
grailsCentral()
mavenCentral()
mavenRepo("http://repo.mycustomrepo.com") {
//Add authentication details to repository connection
auth([
username: 'user',
password: 'password'
])
}
}
Unfortunately this is really problematic for me, as within my organisation we use Artifactory which is configured to use our LDAP credentials. This is a problem because I don't want to be committing my credentials in source control.
Is there an undocumented solution for this or does Grails simply not support it?
