I was bored last night so decided to look into #Gradle sync performance for the $DAYJOB codebase, it averaged around 6 minutes when downloading all dependencies with over 1m30s being wasted in failed HTTP requests. After some massaging with `exclusiveContent` sync is now down to 3m17s with zero HTTP failures :blobDab:

Finally got things going in #Gradle. I can't help but wonder why it is that so much in software development is unnecessarily difficult.

On the plus side, integration test code is finally well under way. Onward!

Almost 3 hours straight failing at writing a simple #Gradle Kotlin DSL script that runs a integration test in what amounts to a stub project.

I feel like such a loser.

TIL one really annoying thing about #Gradle is that there are at least 6 different ways of specifying plugins.

Special case notation for certain blessed plugins or classes just makes things harder for beginners like me. *sigh*

1. id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm") version "1.9.0"
2. kotlin("jvm")
3. application
4. apply<JavaPlugin>()
5. apply(plugin = "java")
6. `jvm-test-suite`

This is both tiring and infuriating to learn.

📝 Gradle Changelog Plugin 2.2.0 is here

🤨 What’s that?
🔥 This plugin for the Gradle build system ships a set of tasks and helper methods to simplify working with changelog files!

If you pass change notes to your community and use #gradle, go for it 👇

Hey @androidweekly,
As usual thanks for the support and promoting my video about Gradle Version Catalog ❤️🎥

I like #gradle all right (given it's a build tool that's a compliment 😆) but I've been always annoyed with the groovy to #kotlin conversion for little tasks I need.

ChatGPT was very helpful today. A use-case I had not considered yet!

🎥 Learn how to use the Gradle Version Catalog in Android projects. 📱👏

In this video, I show how this powerful tool can help you manage dependencies and plugins in a type-safe way. 💯

Today, I have upgraded #BigBone to latest #Gradle 8.3. Also, the bookmarks API found its way into the lib.

Small steps, but moving forward.

Now time to get some rest.

#Mastodon #Java #Kotlin

2 dny se crcám s certifikáty pro firemní Artifactory server, aby z něj dokázal #Gradle tahat balíčky. A zatím bez úspěchu. Chybové hlášky moc nepomáhají ("unable to find valid certification path to requested target"), přes keytool už jsem přidal certifikátů několik a několikrát; neúspěšně.

Já snad vymyslím skript, který to bude z Artifactory tahat sám než luštit, jak Gradle vnutit, co chci. :)

A nebo budu místo vývoje další dny řešit, jak fungují certifikáty v #Java build systémech.

I don't think i've ever seen a "clone" task api in #java #gradle

for example, making multiple versions of the 'run' command with minor variations on the arguments list..

„#Maven treats every project as a regular standard project. … #Gradle claims that lack of flexibility is an issue; hence, it wants to fix it.

I stand by the opposite: lack of flexibility for my build tool is a feature, not a bug.“

A weekend learning #Gradle. Not sure I feel completely comfortable just yet, but I think this is going to ultimately pay off.

#Programming

I really enjoyed this article comparing experiences between #Maven and #Gradle by @frankel - And I agree with the points raised. Moreover, my experience has been that even if you do develop a custom Gradle plugin, they tend to break from version to version and that was painful. #Java #JVM #CICD

Android Gradle Plugin experts, any ideas why I can't generate Kotlin source in my build? https://stackoverflow.com/q/76855573/6540 #AndroidDev #Gradle

I just released ktlint-gradle 11.5.1 which fixes a bug where custom rule sets were not loaded in #ktlint 0.49+. Please try it out and report any issues in the github issue tracker.

#gradle #kotlin

In this post, I’d like to shed some light on my stance regarding #gradle, so I can direct people to it instead of debunking the same "reasoning" repeatedly.
