Groovy

To debug a groovy file create a new groovy file and use println with a main.

static void main(String[] args)
{
    Bob bob = new Bob()
    println bob.discoTopologyWithValidSecureSolrKeyStoreConfig
}

Gradle Daemon

The Gradle daemon runs Gradle as a background process, meaning that it quickens further build runs. It is recommended that it is ran on dev boxes but not CI boxes.

To enable/disable it, from the command line:

--daemon
--no-daemon

or from <>/gradle.properties file with the org.gradle.daemon=true property.

Debugging

Instead of using println to print messages for debugging, using logger.quiet(), logger.warn() or logger.error() (7 for each level), means that the task can be run with -i, --info to print the extra information.

Profile

gradle --profile <task_name>

This adds a profile folder to the build directory, which contains information about that task such as build time and the configuration.

Parallel

gradle --parallel <task_name>

Runs projects in parallel where possible.
