Dry run & local only release
In some cases, especially when setting up axion-release-plugin
or
experimenting with new features it is desirable to either avoid
modification of repository or to persist changes in local repository
only.
Dry run
In dry-run mode, no changes are made to repository. axion-release
still interacts with repository to read things, but all write operations
are mocked and printed out to indicated what would happen. To use dry
run mode:
#./gradlew release -Prelease.dryRun
:verifyRelease
DRY-RUN: uncommitted changes: true
Looking for uncommitted changes.. FAILED
DRY-RUN: ahead of remote: true
Checking if branch is ahead of remote.. FAILED
:release
Creating tag: v0.8.2
DRY-RUN: creating tag with name: v0.8.2
Pushing all to remote: origin
DRY-RUN: pushing to remote: origin
Local only
In local only mode any actions that interact with remote are skipped. Local only mode can be switch on either using command line flag:
./gradlew release -Prelease.localOnly
or by altering configuration:
scmVersion {
localOnly.set(true)
}
Flag has precedence over configuration. Local only mode is evaluated lazily, so it can be changed during build.
