groovy-wix

A WiX based installer for Groovy. Binaries are available on JFrog.

Prerequisites

Required

• WiX Toolset

Optional

• Visual Studio 2022
  • HeatWave extension

Or

• Jetbrains Rider

Steps for a new release

1. Create the directories apache-groovy-binary and apache-groovy-docs in the project root
2. Unzip the Groovy binary zip into apache-groovy-binary, without the root directory in zip

   unzip apache-groovy-binary-*.zip
   mv groovy-*/* apache-groovy-binary/

3. Unzip the Groovy docs zip into apache-groovy-docs, without the root directory in zip

   unzip apache-groovy-docs-*.zip
   mv groovy-*/* apache-groovy-docs/

4. Replace x.y.z with the Groovy version in groovy-wix.wixproj (this can be edited in Visual Studio by editing the Output name on the Installer tab, and the Define preprocessor variables on the _Build tab in the properties of the groovy-wix WIX project). The result will be something like

   diff --git a/groovy-wix/groovy-wix.wixproj b/groovy-wix/groovy-wix.wixproj
   index 070304a..8c602d0 100644
   --- a/groovy-wix/groovy-wix.wixproj

        </PropertyGroup>

5. Build the solution
6. Reset the project by cleaning the solution and running the commands below

   rm -r apache-groovy-binary/* apache-groovy-docs/*
   git checkout groovy-wix/groovy-wix.wixproj groovy-wix/GroovyBinaries.wsx groovy-wix/GroovyDocs.wsx
