[GRADLE-2828] Changes to log level from build script code ignored when executing via daemon Created: 05/Jul/13  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

Status: Resolved
Project: Gradle
Affects Version/s: 1.6

Type: Bug

Known Issue Of:
1.6

 Description   

This issue was reported as an STS bug here: https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-3453

It includes a nice piece of testing code:

task testLogging {
     logging.level = LogLevel.INFO 

     doLast { 
         logger.info("Test INFO msg") }
     }
}

Execute the task from the commandline via './gradlew --daemon testLogging' and the "Test INFO msg" does not appear.

Run it without the --daemon argument and the message does appear.

This is important because of the way that logging from ant tasks is handled.

To see the output of an ant task, you have to temporarily change the logging level to INFO.

With the gradle daemon, this has no effect.

As Ingo wrote this is an important bug especially for ant tasks (which are often imported in gradle when there are already existing ant task). It's not possible to debug them from a gradle daemon (or e.g. eclipse-integration-gradle). I did file a bug in eclipse-integration-gradle https://github.com/spring-projects/eclipse-integration-gradle/issues/58, but the root cause is in gradle so I came over here. I don't like to run a separate command line in the IDE but want to see all the normal output (logging output) from the imported ant tasks and also from the gradle tasks. Working with gradle from inside an IDE (the eclipse-integration-gradle) with this behaviour/bug is not very helpful. Hopefully this is something that can be solved in a future release.

"gradle.build command "antTaskName.logging.level = LogLevel.INFO" has no effect inside eclipfse gradle integration but works on the command line running "gradle antTaskName"
