Command Line

Some command line options have the same effect as setting corresponding properties or environment variables. When a command line option is present, it has precedence over the equivalent properties or environment variables. More details in Gradle Variables and Properties.

gradle --help

-q, --quiet

Quiet.

-m, --dry-run

Executes a dry run.

-D, --system-prop

System Properties

Runtime Configuration

Various aspects of the runtime configuration are controlled with Gradle properties:

• org.gradle.console: console output coloring and verbosity.
• org.gradle.debug: starts the JVM in debug mode, listening on port 5005. This is equivalent with adding the following on the JVM command line:

-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005

• org.gradle.java.home, org.gradle.jvmargs specify the Java home and JVM arguments for the Gradle build process. Also see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#sec:configuring_jvm_memory
• org.gradle.logging.level https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/logging.html#sec:choosing_a_log_level
• org.gradle.warning.mode
• org.gradle.parallel, org.gradle.workers.max parallel mode configuration.

Operations

Start a Project

gradle init

Creates a project structure that includes:

• build.gradle
• settings.gradle
• a project-level gradle directory
• a project-level .gradle directory
• gradlew, gradlew.bat

List Sub-Projects

gradle projects

Inspect Dependencies

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/inspecting_dependencies.html

The full graph of the project's dependencies can be rendered. The selection reason and origin for a dependency can also be displayed.

To display the dependency trees for all dependency configurations of the project, execute:

gradle -q dependencies

The result is called a dependency report. Any dependency that could not be resolved is marked with FAILED in red color. Dependencies with the same coordinates that can occur multiple times in the graph are omitted and indicated by an asterisk. Dependencies that had to undergo conflict resolution render the requested and selected version separated by a right arrow character. The dependency report provides the raw list of dependencies but does not explain why they have been selected or which dependency is responsible for pulling them into the graph. These explanations can though be generated, see Identify Why a Specific Dependency was Selected.

To display the dependency tree for just one dependency configuration:

gradle -q dependencies --configuration <configuration-name>

Identify Why a Specific Dependency was Selected

gradle -q dependencyInsight --dependency <dependency-name> [--configuration <configuration-name>]

Print the Runtime Classpath

task printClasspath {
        doLast {
            configurations.runtimeClasspath.each { print it; print ':' }
        }
}
