[[part8_publish_locally]]
= Part 8: Publish your Plugin Locally

Learn how to verify your plugin can be published by pushing it to a local Maven repository, then consuming it like any external plugin.

****
**In this section, you'll:**

- Update your plugin with publishable metadata
- Publish your plugin to a local throwable Maven repository
- Use the published version of the plugin in the `consumer` project
****

[[part8_begin]]
== Step 0: Before you Begin

1. You initialized your plugin in <<part1_gradle_init_plugin.adoc#part1_begin,part 1>>.
2. You added an extension to your plugin in <<part2_add_extension.adoc#part2_begin,part 2>>.
3. You created a custom task in <<part3_create_custom_task.adoc#part3_begin, part3>>.
4. You wrote a unit test in <<part4_unit_test.adoc#part4_begin,part 4>>.
5. You added a dataflow action to your plugin in <<part5_add_dataflow_action.adoc#part5_begin,part 5>>.
6. You wrote a functional test in <<part6_functional_test.adoc#part6_begin,part 6>>.
7. You created a dummy consumer project in <<part7_use_consumer_project.adoc#part7_begin,part 7>>.

== Step 1: Add Plugin Metadata

In your `plugin/build.gradle(.kts)` file, apply the `maven-publish` plugin and make sure you have the `group` and `version` defined:

====
include::sample[dir="snippets/tutorials/developing-plugins/plugin-tutorial/kotlin",files="plugin/build.gradle.kts[tags=publish]"]
include::sample[dir="snippets/tutorials/developing-plugins/plugin-tutorial/groovy",files="plugin/build.gradle[tags=publish]"]
====

TIP: The `group` and `version` **must** be set or the `publish` task will fail.

== Step 2: Publish to a Local Folder

Use the `publishing {}` block from the `maven-publish` plugin to add a Maven repository that points to `build/local-repo` in your plugin's build file:

====
include::sample[dir="snippets/tutorials/developing-plugins/plugin-tutorial/kotlin",files="plugin/build.gradle.kts[tags=repo]"]
include::sample[dir="snippets/tutorials/developing-plugins/plugin-tutorial/groovy",files="plugin/build.gradle[tags=repo]"]
====

Publish the plugin:

[source,bash]
----
./gradlew :plugin:publishAllPublicationsToLocalRepoRepository
----
[source,text]
----
> Task :plugin:checkKotlinGradlePluginConfigurationErrors SKIPPED
> Task :plugin:pluginDescriptors UP-TO-DATE
> Task :plugin:processResources UP-TO-DATE
> Task :plugin:generatePomFileForPluginMavenPublication
> Task :plugin:generatePomFileForSlackPluginMarkerMavenPublication
> Task :plugin:publishSlackPluginMarkerMavenPublicationToLocalRepoRepository
> Task :plugin:compileKotlin
> Task :plugin:compileJava NO-SOURCE
> Task :plugin:classes UP-TO-DATE
> Task :plugin:jar
> Task :plugin:generateMetadataFileForPluginMavenPublication
> Task :plugin:publishPluginMavenPublicationToLocalRepoRepository
> Task :plugin:publishAllPublicationsToLocalRepoRepository

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 1s
9 actionable tasks: 7 executed, 2 up-to-date
----

You should now see artifacts under `plugin/build/local-repo/`.
Take a moment to look at these files.

== Step 3: Configure the Local Repository in `consumer`

Point your **consumer** build to that repo and apply the plugin **with a version**:

====
include::sample[dir="snippets/tutorials/developing-plugins/plugin-tutorial/kotlin",files="consumer/settings.gradle.kts[tags=repo]"]
include::sample[dir="snippets/tutorials/developing-plugins/plugin-tutorial/groovy",files="consumer/settings.gradle[tags=repo]"]
====

== Step 4: Apply the Plugin in the `consumer` Project

====
include::sample[dir="snippets/tutorials/developing-plugins/plugin-tutorial/kotlin",files="consumer/build.gradle.kts[tags=repo]"]
include::sample[dir="snippets/tutorials/developing-plugins/plugin-tutorial/groovy",files="consumer/build.gradle[tags=repo]"]
====

Now run something in the consumer (e.g., your `test` task or `build`):

[source,bash]
----
./gradlew :consumer:build
----

You’ve now proven the plugin is **publishable** and **consumable** like a real, external plugin, no portals or private repos required.

You can easily clean up the artifacts by running `rm -rf plugin/build/local-repo` if you want to republish from scratch.

Congratulations, you have completed the tutorial!
