Status: Resolved

 Description   

Calling gradle with an unknown command line option (eg. because of a typo) causes a "messy" output like this:

$ gradle printDate --dryRun
Note: the Gradle build daemon is an experimental feature.
As such, you may experience unexpected build failures. You may need to occasionally stop the daemon.

FAILURE: Build aborted because of an internal error.

  • What went wrong:
    Build aborted because of an unexpected internal error. Please file an issue at: http://www.gradle.org.
  • Try:
    Run with --debug option to get additional debug info.
  • Exception is:
    org.gradle.cli.CommandLineArgumentException: Unknown command-line option '--dryRun'.

BUILD FAILED

Wouldn't it be better to have a decent feedback and infos like the output from "gradle help"?
