The plugin of version `5+` does not work with `signing` plugin any more

[artembilan]

Describe the bug

The goal is to sign artifacts before they are published to the Artifactory. It works well with plugin of version 4+, but does not with 5+.

Current behavior

This my Gradle init script:

initscript {
	repositories {
		mavenCentral()
	}
	dependencies {
		classpath 'org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:4.+'
	}
}

def gpgPassphrase = System.getenv('GPG_PASSPHRASE')
def gpgPrivateKey = System.getenv('GPG_PRIVATE_KEY')

allprojects {

	apply plugin: 'signing'

	tasks.register('artifactoryPublish', org.jfrog.gradle.plugin.artifactory.task.ArtifactoryTask) {
		setCiServerBuild()
	}

	apply plugin: org.jfrog.gradle.plugin.artifactory.ArtifactoryPlugin

	artifactory {
		publish {
			contextUrl = System.getenv('ARTIFACTORY_URL')
			repository {
				repoKey = System.getenv('ARTIFACTORY_REPOSITORY')
				username = System.getenv('ARTIFACTORY_USERNAME')
				password = System.getenv('ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD')
			}
			defaults {
				publications 'mavenJava'
			}
		}
	}

		afterEvaluate {
			pluginManager.withPlugin('maven-publish') {
				signing {
					useInMemoryPgpKeys(gpgPrivateKey, gpgPassphrase)
					sign publishing.publications.mavenJava
				}
			}
		}
}

Works well and as expected: the artifacts are signed and .asc files are uploaded to the Artifactory alongside with other artifacts.

If I change build-info-extractor-gradle version to the 5+ it does not sing artifacts. And even if I make artifactoryPublish dependent on signMavenJavaPublication tasks and it is called, the .asc files are not uploaded to the Artifactory.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Clone the example gradle project from JFrog project-examples GitHub page.

2. Generate a new GPG key.

3. Inside the project directory modify the build.gradle file as follows:

buildscript {
  repositories {
      mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
      classpath(group: 'org.jfrog.buildinfo', name: 'build-info-extractor-gradle', version: '4.+')
  }
}
allprojects {
  apply plugin: 'signing'
  tasks.register('artifactoryPublish', org.jfrog.gradle.plugin.artifactory.task.ArtifactoryTask) {
      setCiServerBuild()
  }
  apply plugin: org.jfrog.gradle.plugin.artifactory.ArtifactoryPlugin
  repositories {
      maven {
          url "<Artifactory URL>/artifactory/<remote reposiotry>"
      }
  }
}


version = currentVersion


apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.artifactory'
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'


dependencies {
  testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.7'
}


publishing {
  publications {
      mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
          from components.java
      }
  }
}


artifactory {
  contextUrl = '<Artifactory URL>/artifactory'
  publish {
      repository {
          repoKey = '<local repository>' // The Artifactory repository key to publish to
          username = <username>// The publisher user name
          password = <password>// The publisher password
      }
      defaults {
          publications('mavenJava')
          publishArtifacts = true
          // Properties to be attached to the published artifacts.
          properties = ['qa.level': 'basic', 'dev.team' : 'core']
          // Publish generated POM files to Artifactory (true by default)
          publishPom = true
      }
  }
}
		afterEvaluate {
			pluginManager.withPlugin('maven-publish') {
				signing {
					sign publishing.publications.mavenJava
				}
			}
		}

4. Modify the gradle.properties file:

artifactory_user=<Artifactory username>
artifactory_password=<Artifactory password>

signing.keyId=<KeyID> /last 8 digits of your gpg key, get by running “gpg --list-keys --keyid-format short”
signing.password=<passpharse for the GPG key>
signing.secretKeyRingFile=<path to the GPG key>

5. Execute the 'gradle artifactoryPublish' command and observe that the artifacts are signed, with corresponding .asc files uploaded to Artifactory along with other artifacts.
6. Update the 'classpath' from 'org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:4.+' to 'org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:5.+' and ensure that no .asc files are generated or uploaded to Artifactory.

Hi @artembilan @RoiNiv23 , Artifactory Gradle Plugin 5.2.3 was just released and includes a fix for this issue. We'd appreciate your feedback for it.

[artembilan]

Looks like that works and I see published .asc files as well. This issue can be closed. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback @artembilan !
