1.16 Replacing ${version} in toml

[hohserg]

I added follow code to my build script for replace ${version} placeholder in my toml by gradle project version

processResources {
    // This will ensure that this task is redone when the versions change.
    inputs.property 'version', project.version

    // Replace stuff in mods.toml, nothing else
    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
        include 'META-INF/mods.toml'

        // Replace version
        expand 'version':project.version
    }

    // Copy everything else except the mods.toml
    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
        exclude 'META-INF/mods.toml'
    }
}

On build it crashes with

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':ElegantNetworking_1.16:processResources'.
> Could not copy file 'C:\Users\hohserg\Documents\GitHub\ElegantNetworking1\ElegantNetworking_1.16\src\main\resources\META-INF\mods.toml' to 'C:\Users\hohserg\Documents\GitHub\ElegantNetworking1\ElegantNetworking_1.16\build\resources\main\META-INF\mods.toml'.

Hey, I may be misunderstanding what you want to do, but make sure you do not change the version string in mods.toml.

It should be: version="${file.jarVersion}"

That string will be auto-replaced by gradle.

 

In build.gradle under jar/manifest/attributes, you can set "Implementation-Version" to "project.version".
e.g.
"Implementation-Version": project.version,

This should be enough for gradle to pull the version from the Jar Metadata.

 

Note: If you are running from Eclipse your Mod's Version may display as "NONE", that's fine. When you actually create a jar for your mod, for instance with the "build/jar" Gradle Task. That jar should have a valid version when you drop it into a "mods" folder.
