gradle-checksum

A Gradle plugin for creating checksums for files in your build.

Usage

plugins {
    id 'org.gradle.crypto.checksum' version '1.1.0'
}

import org.gradle.crypto.checksum.Checksum

task generateFiles {
  // Generates some files.
}

task createChecksums(type: Checksum, dependsOn: 'generateFiles') {
  files = generateFiles.outputs.files
  outputDir = new File(project.buildDir, "generatedChecksums")
  algorithm = Checksum.Algorithm.SHA512
}

When the createChecksums task is finished, there will be a file ending in .sha512 for each of the files output by the generateFiles task.

Currently, only SHA256 (default), SHA384, SHA512, and MD5 are supported. Please file an issue or make a pull request if you need support for some other hashing algorithm.

By default, the outputDir will be set to project.buildDir + "checksums".

The task is incremental at the file level, and will only alter files in the output directory which end with file extensions managed by this task (e.g. .sha256 or .sha512). However, for optimal caching of other tasks it is still advisable to try and use independent output directories for each task in your build.
