How to apply plugin in gradle conditional dependent on OS

Question

I have added a plugin id "ua.eshepelyuk.ManifestClasspath" version "1.0.0" to plugins {} in my build.gradle file. I **would like to only run the plugin when using a windows computer. So what I tried is to add an if statement around the plugin. I have included Gradle plugin with my if statement below:

Build.graddle file:

plugins {
   if (System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().contains("windows")) {
    id "ua.eshepelyuk.ManifestClasspath" version "1.0.0"
  }
}

When using the if statement above I get the error: 'only id(String) method calls allowed in plugins {} script block'. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Give below a try...

plugins {
    id "ua.eshepelyuk.ManifestClasspath" version "1.0.0" apply false
}

if(System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().contains("windows")) {
    apply plugin: “ua.eshepelyuk.ManifestClasspath”
}
