How does one set a proxy in lazybones? - groovy

Question

I'm behind a firewall and lazybones can't reach its repository without a proxy.
I've searched the source and can't seem to find any reference to a proxy that seems to be relevant.

Answer 1

Support was officially added in version 0.8.1 of Lazybones, albeit via a general mechanism to add arbitrary system properties to the application in its configuration file, ~/.lazybones/config.groovy.
You can read about the details in the project README, but in essence, simply add the following to your config.groovy file:
systemProp {
http {
proxyHost = "localhost"
proxyPort = 8181
}
https {
proxyHost = "localhost"
proxyPort = 8181
}
}
You can use the systemProp. prefix to add any system properties to Lazybones, similar to the way it works in Gradle.

Answer 2

Is that what You're looking for? Basically You need to add some properties to gradle.properties file.

Answer 3

I am using Cygwin on Windows and I have modified the last line of
~/.gvm/lazybones/current/bin/lazybones
to say
exec "$JAVACMD" "${JVM_OPTS[#]}" -classpath "$CLASSPATH" "-Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1" "-Dhttp.proxyPort=8888" "-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1" uk.co.cacoethes.lazybones.LazybonesMain "$#"
Please note the quotes around the options. It works very well with my local Fiddler installation.
I have found no better way to enable proxy support due to the way the script is using eval. Maybe a more experienced shell script programmer can come up with a more elegant solution.

Answer 4

I was able to get out through the proxy setting the environment settings of
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="lmig.com" -Dhttps.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080
unfortunately my environment requires authentication so I couldn't provide the complete proxy this way. I first ran "OWASP Zed Attach Proxy (ZAP)" which allowed me to run a proxy on my own machine (at port 8080) which then provided the complete authentication required.
This was able to then run the complete "lazybones list" command which retrieved the contents of the respositories.
Unfortunately I was not able to create an application from those templates becuase bintray required a login (though an anonymous login would do) and couldn't seem to get an additional level of authentication (I received "Unauthorized" from bintray)
