How can I conditionally run code if a Gradle plugin is applied?

Question

I have a script plugin that I would like to:

• Check if the ivy-publish applied (via apply plugin: ivy-publish):
• If it is applied, declare publishing { repositories { ivy { } } }
• If it's not applied, run some other code

However, I'm unsure of how to actually run code if the ivy-publish plugin is applied, and I couldn't find anything about that in the documentation. Is there any way to do this?

You can use the PluginManager.withPlugin(String id, Action<? super AppliedPlugin> action) method. From the Javadoc:

If a plugin with the specified ID has already been applied, the supplied action will be executed immediately. Otherwise, the action will executed immediately after a plugin with the specified ID is applied.

In your build script you could do something like:

pluginManager.withPlugin('ivy-publish') {
  // Do configuration
}
