setting project.shadow.component no longer available with 9.x

[EugenMayer]

Description

using

publishing {
        publications {
            def commitref = "unknown"
            if (project.hasProperty("commitref")) {
                commitref = project.commitref
            }

            shadow(MavenPublication) { publication ->
              project.shadow.component(publication)
              ....
            }
         }
}

no longer works, specifically the part project.shadow.component(publication) - are there alternatives to it? How should it be done with the new 9.x release? Thanks a lot

@Goooler thank you, not sure i'am getting it all right, seems like migrating away from a shadow(MavenPublication) to mavenJava(MavenPublication) is what is expected here. Really not sure if i understood the implication of #956 correctly

Sorry - guess i found it :) https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/pull/956/files#diff-eb0d8851137fd0865e9ea53a62ad96d409ec46e8be48912600f89a3b15cf3278R19. Thank you!

migrated to

            shadow(MavenPublication) {
                components.shadow
            }

As by https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/blob/main/docs/publishing/README.md

And getting the error

> Could not get unknown property 'shadow' for SoftwareComponent container of type org.gradle.api.internal.component.DefaultSoftwareComponentContainer.

Using gradle 8.14.2

The case is covered by

shadow/src/functionalTest/kotlin/com/github/jengelman/gradle/plugins/shadow/PublishingTest.kt

Lines 356 to 374 in 9082fd4

	fun publishJarAndShadowJarWithGradleMetadata() {
	projectScript.appendText(
	publishConfiguration(
	dependenciesBlock = """
	implementation 'my:a:1.0'
	implementation 'my:b:1.0'
	shadow 'my:b:1.0'

	publicationsBlock = """

	from components.java

	shadow(MavenPublication) {

Not sure what you mean by that - it is no longer needed?

You really seem to not have time to write a full sentence nor any details, you throw around links for basically an RTFM.

I'am not entitled to any help of you, nor can i expect any. But may i offer some advice - save yourself the trouble and time answering questions if you have 0 time or temper at the moment. Leave it to others if you are just stressed about it due to the most probably high frequency of questions. You are not helping, you are rather driving your own frustration and probably adding some on the other side.

Just don't answer if you have no time - no hard feelings.

The usages of components.shadow I mentioned work fine. If they don’t work for you, please provide a minimal reproducer instead of just snippets and stack traces, rather than simply complaining that “it didn’t work for me.”
