At the bottom of out put from "gradle tasks" is: To see all tasks and more detail, run with -all There is no such switch. If the poor user tries to follow the instructions, they are rewarded with error messages. I set priority to Major even though there is no direct functional impact, because I think the impact to new users is "major". Help tasks such as "tasks" are critical for new users, and instructing new users to do things wrong is a great way to turn off tentative users from Gradle. |

The instructions say: To see all tasks and more detail, run with --all. Notice that it's --all not -all. gradle tasks --all works just fine. |

I apologize. I had attempted to test both before and after "tasks", but must have accidentally used a single hyphen when I used it after. Thanks for explaining. |
