Authentication details from gradle.properties does not work about gradle-nexus-plugin HOT 2 CLOSED

Ah HA! Ok, this is my first exploration into Gradle, so forgive my noobie mistake. I just figured out that the properties in gradle.properties work differently than in normal Groovy code in the build script. They are treated like any other properties file (duh!).

So when I had this in gradle.properties:

nexusUsername = 'user'
nexusPassword = 'password'

Gradle treated that as the entire string "'user'" and "'password'", complete with quotes!

Removing the quotes fixed my problem:

nexusUsername = user
nexusPassword = password

Sorry again for the trouble. It is weird though that this didn't work:

project.ext {
    nexusUsername = 'user'
    nexusPassword = 'password'
}

Because it's in the build script I would think that it would treat that like a String and remove the quotes for me. I guess not. Doesn't really matter, I needed it to be in a gradle.properties file anyway.

It kind of depends on where you define the properties in your build script. Might just be an evaluation order problem.
