groowin-gradle

Overview

The groowin-gradle is a Gradle plugin for working with remote WinRM (Windows) servers. It allows connecting, executing remote commands, coping files and directories in a simple and concise way.

The plugin was jointly developed by Aestas/IT (http://aestasit.com) and NetCompany A/S (http://www.netcompany.com/) to support quickly growing operations and hosting department.

Quick example

This is a simple example of some WinRM features available in the plugin:

task remoteTask << {
  remoteManagement {
    exec 'rm -rf /tmp/cache/'
    cp "$buildDir/cache.content", '/tmp/cache/cache.content'        
  }
}

Adding plugin to the build

The first thing you need to do in order to use the plugin is to define a build script dependency:

buildscript {
  repositories { mavenCentral() }
  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.aestasit.infrastructure.groowin:groowin-gradle:0.1.8'
  }
}

And then apply the plugin:

apply plugin: 'remoteManagement'

Plugin can be configured with the help of winrmOptions structure:

winrmOptions {
  ...
}

It also gives access to a set of methods (remoteManagment, exec, cp etc.) defined by Groowin - Groovy WinRM DSL.
