 Description   

In upgrading to gradle 1.6, I see there are new deprecation warnings, so I need to go into my scripts and improve things. It would really make it easier if the warning message included the file and line number where this occurred. Perhaps also the plugin if there was one. Otherwise it can be hard to tell if something needs to be changed in my gradle scripts or if the problem is in a plugin that I happen to be using. Not sure how hard this would be, but it would be very nice to have.

I did see this which is related:

Also, while it seems you all have done a good job with making the deprecation messages meaningful, it might be nice to provide a URL for more information. You already have more information in the release notes, like here:
[2]http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/re...
so adding a url to the corresponding section shouldn't be too hard.

thanks
Philip

Please confirm that you still advocate for your JIRA issue before December 10th, 2016 by:

  • Checking that your issues contain requisite context, impact, behaviors, and examples as described in our published guidelines.
