AUTO_INCREMENT_ONE_STEP not saving to version.properties file

[quentin23soleil]

Using AUTO_INCREMENT_ONE_STEP as a codeOption doesn't update the version.properties file.

According to documentation AUTO_INCREMENT_ONE_STEP only increases when you are releasing your app. if you want it to change every time (I mean on every task you want) you can set dependsOnTasks to any task name you want

for example:

advancedVersioning {
  codeOptions {
      versionCodeType org.moallemi.gradle.internal.VersionCodeType.AUTO_INCREMENT_ONE_STEP
      dependsOnTasks 'debug', 'release', 'assemble'
  }
}

I know, but when I create a release build, the versionCode is always at 1. Even if I (release) build it many times.

[moallemi]

What is your release task name? did you add it to dependsOnTasks property?

[quentin23soleil]

I haven't added dependsOnTasks so I guess it's by default "release".

[moallemi]

I mean witch task name do you use to publish the release version of your app? if you use

./gradlew  TASK_NAME 

to make the release version then you should add it to dependsOnTasks.

I will add an option to use build Variants instead of task names in later version.

[quentin23soleil]

Oh, I do a ./gradlew clean build

Indeed specifying variants in dependsOnTasks does not work.

The following works:

advancedVersioning {
    codeOptions {
        versionCodeType org.moallemi.gradle.internal.VersionCodeType.AUTO_INCREMENT_ONE_STEP
        dependsOnTasks 'assemble', 'bundle'
    }
}

while the following does not work:

advancedVersioning {
    codeOptions {
        versionCodeType org.moallemi.gradle.internal.VersionCodeType.AUTO_INCREMENT_ONE_STEP
        dependsOnTasks 'assembleRelease', 'bundleRelease'
    }
}
