This change provides a workaround for some limitations of the Gradle version catalog, namely that it is not natively readable from
settings.gradle
due to the order of resolution by Gradle's builds life cycle when evaluating settings.gradle and the TOML file in the gradle directory.To get around this, We manually parse the
TOML
file, using standard Groovy means, to return the version in question, using a Regex pattern to parse the file, then return the version e.g. for an entry in the TOML file likegradleEnterpriseVersion = "3.14.1"
just3.14.1
would be returned and then passed as the plugin parameter.This allows us to continue to leverage the version catalogue for items which must be declared in settings.gradle.
Further reading is available here on Gradles forums, where a solution similar to this is suggested by one of their engineers regarding using the Gradle Enterprise plugins with a version catalog.
