All instructions in this file use the Linux (or other Unix) conventions for
build. If you happen to use Windows, replace ./gradlew
with gradlew.bat
.
You may be fortunate enough that your IDE has Gradle support. Should it not be the case, first report a bug to your vendor; then refer to the cheat sheet below:
# List the list of tasks
./gradlew tasks
# Build, test the package
./gradlew test
# Install in your local maven repository
./gradlew clean install
If you try and play around with Gradle configuration files, in order to be
really sure that your modifications are accounted for, add the
--recompile-scripts
option before the task name; for instance:
./gradlew --recompile-scripts test
When you invoke Gradle tasks such as install
, for instance, Gradle will not
run tests by default; you therefore have to tell it to run tests explicitly:
./gradlew clean test install
The same holds true for the jar
target, for instance.
There exists a possiblity to generate a pom.xml
(using ./gradlew pom
), which
is there for convenience. However, this is not supported by the author.
