I have java/groovy code that is built under buildSrc that I want as quiet as possible as it’s not the focus of the build and rarely changes. Once that’s built I want to set the log level to INFO to be more verbose for the rest of the build
I’ve tried to set the level in the main buildscript block:
buildscript {
logging.setLevel(LogLevel.ERROR)
}
which has no effect on the buildSrc build
To increase the level post buildSrc, I tried this.
‘buildSrc’ and ‘buildscript’ are unrelated. What I’d try to do is to set a log level for all tasks in ‘buildSrc’ (via ‘buildSrc/build.gradle’). From what I remember, there is an open ticket though that ‘Task.logging.setLogLevel()’ isn’t working. I’m not sure if there is another way. Since ‘buildSrc’ is being built strictly before the main build, there might be a way to temporarily change the logging level, perhaps via ‘gradle.startParameter.setLogLevel()’.
In case I’m going about this completely the wrong way, my goal is to suppress these messages, always, regardless of what -q/i/d arg was passed to gradle:
:buildSrc:compileJava

================================================ Finished building buildSrc
And then resume logging with whatever was specified on the command line.
I assumed that monkeying with the logging instance level would be the way to go.
