基于hidden-secrets-gradle-plugin，如何在build.gradle中编写自动关联preBuild的hideSecret Gradle任务

Let me help you fix your implementation—your original approach uses a raw exec task which isn't how the Hidden Secrets Gradle Plugin is designed to work. Instead, we'll leverage the plugin's built-in task type and properly integrate it with Gradle's lifecycle.

Step 1: Add the Plugin Dependency #

First, make sure the plugin is correctly added to your build.gradle file (use the latest version available):

plugins {
    id 'com.klaxit.hiddensecrets' version '0.1.15' // Replace with the latest version
}

Step 2: Define the hideSecret Task Properly #

Instead of executing a command line, use the plugin's native task type to handle the secret hiding. This task will read your command-line parameters, validate them, and configure the plugin's behavior:

task hideSecret(type: com.klaxit.hiddensecrets.tasks.HideSecretsTask) {
    // Validate required command-line parameters before running
    doFirst {
        if (!project.hasProperty('key')) {
            throw new GradleException("Missing required parameter: -Pkey (your secret value)")
        }
        if (!project.hasProperty('keyName')) {
            throw new GradleException("Missing required parameter: -PkeyName (the name of your secret in properties)")
        }
    }

    // Read parameters from command line
    def secretValue = project.getProperty('key')
    def secretName = project.getProperty('keyName')

    // Configure the plugin to hide this specific secret
    secrets = [(secretName): secretValue]
    // Explicitly specify the properties file to modify (default is root gradle.properties)
    propertiesFile = file("${rootDir}/gradle.properties")
}

Step 3: Link to preBuild Lifecycle #

To ensure hideSecret runs automatically before preBuild, add this dependency (simpler than using afterEvaluate unless you have specific lifecycle needs):

preBuild.dependsOn hideSecret

How to Use It #

• Run the task directly via command line:

  gradle hideSecret -Pkey=test123456 -PkeyName=YourSecretKeyName
  

• Or run preBuild (or any task that depends on it, like assembleDebug), and hideSecret will execute automatically:

  gradle preBuild -Pkey=test123456 -PkeyName=YourSecretKeyName
  

Why Your Original Code Failed #

Your initial approach tried to execute hideSecret as an external command, but this is a Gradle plugin task—you need to use the plugin's provided task type to integrate with Gradle's ecosystem properly. This avoids issues with pathing, environment setup, and ensures the plugin uses its native logic to encrypt secrets.
