In Groovydoc plugin link to Groovy API is hardcoded to version 2.5.6

[dmurat]

I'm using Groovy 3.0.3, so it does not suit me to link to the Groovy 2.5.6.

I believe the problem originates from org.kordamp.gradle.plugin.base.plugins.Groovydoc constructor. I'm not quite sure how to handle it. Maybe with some additional configuration option, maybe by adding user-configured entries at the start of the set (if this works) or maybe via some more elaborate resolving mechanism similar to the one used for resolving Java documentation.

I'm using kordamp 0.36.0

Tnx.

Forgot to mention, the documentation states that default is an empty set. It should enumerate actual defaults. In addition, the link to the Groovy documentation probably should start with https instead of http.

I think you can override the set by assigning an empty value, then add the link you need

config {
    docs {
        groovydoc {
            links = [] as Set
            options {
                link 'http://docs.groovy-lang.org/3.0.3/html/api/', 'groovy.', 'org.codehaus.groovy.', 'org.apache.groovy.'
            }
        }
    }
}

It does not work for me. If I set links on groovydoc, Gradle compilation fails. If I move it under options Gradle compilation passes, but links still point to the 2.5.6 version.

Yes, sorry, setting the links property should be in options, my mistake. However, default links from the parent will override your settings. I added a fix for overriding links by URL.

Unfortunately there's no option in 0.36.0 that will let you remove the default link to Groovy 2.5.6.

Thank you. No problem, I can wait for 0.37.0.
