one file change rebuilds whole project

After changing just one source file, the entire project is rebuilt taking a few minutes. I can see messages in the bottom bar traversing the whole code base. If I try the same with ./gradlew assemble it only compiles the changed file and takes just 7 seconds. I assume build cache should work the same in both places. Is there any way to see what gradle operations the build server is doing to help debug this?

Build server won't build the project on source file change events I think.

What messages did you see in the status bar?

Is there a way to set up the Gradle server to automatically update or compile to the build directory after resource and code changes please? Manually building every time is really cumbersome. Thank you!

@nonicknamelala Before launching the application or running the tests, gradle build server should be invoked to build the project. Could you let me know what's your case that this behavior is not enough?
