Gradle Exec - how to log commandline?

I am using Gradle to build my project. The build file contains several Exec tasks to run external programs (shell scripts and the Java Packager). The build is not always successful and I want to find out why. Analyzing all the output I have it feels strange that Gradle does not print the command that is getting invoked.

How can I make Gradle print the commandline before it starts executing?

Solution

  • You can use log levels of gradle

    whenever you invoke gradle command you can do like this

    ./gradlew mytask --info //info logs
./gradlew mytask -s //to get stacktrace
