Defining Consumer from Groovy build.gradle

I think I solved this. As far as I can tell the problem was that I attempted to have ProfileDefinition also be a Binding. I was playing with how to expose this to the “Gradle fragment” I apply and just tried playing with that for no real good reason

Anyway, I removed that and it seems to work pretty consistently now.

Relatedly, any pointers to resources that discuss how to expose beans / dsl-extensions to gradle fragments? Something like project.getExtensions().create(...) but that I can later remove?

The basic idea is that the plugin finds a number of “database profiles” used for testing. Each profile is defined using a gradle fragment. At them moment I apply each fragment ((GradleProfileFragment == ProfileDefinition) as:

	final GradleProfileFragment profileFragment = new GradleProfileFragment( defaultProfileName );

	project.getConvention().getPlugins().put( PROFILE_KEY, profileFragment );

	try {
		project.apply( Collections.singletonMap( "from", profileFile ) );
	}
	finally {
		project.getConvention().getPlugins().remove( PROFILE_KEY );
	}

So that profile descriptor should only be in effect while processing that single file.

What I do not understand is that PROFILE_KEY is "profile", but I cannot specify profile {} in the fragment. I have to use the unqualified attribute names. E.g., this works:

beforeEachTest {
    ...
}

However, this does not:

profile {
    beforeEachTest {
        ...
    }
}

How would I make that work? Can I add it to that Map passed to Project#apply? Another way?

Thanks again James
