Version property isn't expanded in development enviorment (name probably too)

[Major Tuvok]

So, first of all why I need this to be the case (perhaps this can be solved via solving my original Problem):

I wanted to test my mod with an Minecraft server, so I've tried to start MC Server and Client both in my development enviorment (IntellJ). Unfortunatly this results in an invalid session id...

 

My solution to that was to use an ordinary MC-Forge client and add my mod as a jar to its mod folder. So far I didn't have any Proplems, but as soon as I tried to connect, I got an Mod-rejection error: My versions apperntly aren't the same...

 

So I looked at both logs and found these strange differences:

Normal Forge Client, Mod linked as jar: version is ok (and as expected)

[main/WARN] [spellcraft/]: Mod spellcraft is missing the required element 'version' and a version.properties file could not be found. Falling back to metadata version 0.2.1.109

Development Forge Server: somehow using unexpanded version ${version}

[Server thread/WARN] [spellcraft]: Mod spellcraft is missing the required element 'version' and a version.properties file could not be found. Falling back to metadata version ${version}

Apperently Using a Development Forge Client leads to the same unexpanded version.

Here's the Server side Mod-rejection...

And my Build.gradle (I already tried to force processrecources task by simply adding it right before it is declared, didn't help):

            "Implementation-Version": project.version,
            "Built-On": "${ver_mc}-${ver_forge}"
    )
}

Before anyone asks: I know that the toInteger Method doesn't increment the version saved in gradle.properties... I'm going to change that after this issue has been solved.

And my gradle.properties:

# Sets default memory used for gradle commands. Can be overridden by user or command line properties.
# This is required to provide enough memory for the Minecraft decompilation process.
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx6G
#version
ver_java=1.8
ver_code=1.12.2-0.2.1.109
ver_major_mod=0
ver_major_api=2
ver_minor_api=1
ver_build=108
ver_forge=14.23.2.2611
ver_mc=1.12.2
ver_mappings=snapshot_20180201
#mod
mod_pgroup=mt.mcmods
mod_id=spellcraft

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I have to add: I don't know why this suddendly popped up: the last time I looked at my mod's ingame version (about one month ago) It was ok... The only thing I changed since than was changeing my forge and mappings version

[LexManos]

Yes, this is how build scripts work. They don't replace things in the original source so that it doesn't pollute your code.

To solve your original issue, either login to a valid account on the client. GradleStart supports --username and --password.

Or just edit your dev server's settings.properites to turn offline mode on...

[Major Tuvok]

thanke you, using an acceptable Username works. although I seem to be doing sth. wrong when setting online mode to false because I'm unable to connect if that's the case... (I didn't look into that yet-I'm not used to working with mc server configs...)  

I've created a very dirty workaround (it bypasses to some extend the standard processResources) which provides me with correct versions in dev enviorment.

def modinfoFile = 'src/main/resources/mcmod.info'
def tempDir = 'build/tmp/modifiedSources'
def classesDir = 'classes/production/Spellcraft_-_MC_14.23.2.2611_main'
def buildDir = 'build/resources/main'
def versionFileName = 'mcmod.info'
def tempFile = tempDir+'/'+versionFileName

compileJava.doFirst {
    copy {
        from(modinfoFile)
        into(tempDir)
    }
    ant.replace(file: tempFile, token: '${version}', value: project.version)
    ant.replace(file: tempFile, token: '${mcversion}', value: project.minecraft.version)
}

compileJava.doLast {
    copy {
        from(tempFile)
        into(classesDir)
    }
    copy {
        from(tempFile)
        into(buildDir)
    }
}

Using my dirty workaround along with a correct username and

online-mode=true

in the server.properties file works as well as setting it to false (whilst using that workaround, I didn't try without it)... (It seems like it does... I apperntly have some kind of Packet registration Problem(I seem to accidentally try to load WorldClient on the Server?!?) which I simply workaround by disabling any serverside registration at the moment, so that I can't completly connect without the game crashing)

 

Again: Thank you
