AEM gradle plugin for productive projects about gradle-aem-plugin HOT 4 CLOSED

Would you say that AEM gradle plugin is the way to go for future productive projects?

definitely, within 2 last years of adoption process, my company actually trusted this solution so that there are existing projects on our bench (and few new) for serious clients using it.

About the future, I have planned to follow semantic versioning approach to make this plugin as much stable as possible without effort for projects related with upgrading the plugin when some fixes or improvements will come.

As you can see, 2.0.11 version seems to be very stable. Since very long time, there isn't any major bug reported so that it could prove good quality of solution.

We have been playing around with it and we are very happy with the results

have you tested only build process? I am curious if you also tested AEM setup functionality (automated aemCreate aemSatisfy aemBuild aemAwait) and your feedback will be very appreciated.

Hey @pun-ky thanks for your reply pretty useful to us 👍 .

We have tested aemSatisfy (maybe our favorite feature) and aemBuild.

Another one we really appreciated is aemPurge to completely remove our development bundles from a local instance.

We tried aemCreate using the aem jar from a smb location but we might have missed something there. The download was done to the gradle build folder so when we runned gradle clean in was deleted. We than tried aemUp and it started a new download again. We probably have done something wrong in there.

aemAwait we didn't try yet.

Thanks again.

In gradle you should almost never run clean task while comparing to Maven, because Gradle is incremental and tasks clean themself usually on code changes. To be sure that you have clean situation just :

• be sure that you haven't any aem running
• delete .aem folder from your home user directory
• run sh gradlew clean

You will have clean workspace like on clean workstation, then just run sh gradlew aemSetup assuming that you have already configured smb in gradle.properties file.

Please let me know if it works. I tested it on Mac, Ubuntu and Windows and few other computers like mines so I am quite sure that finally you should have it working.
