I've seen this happen before (on linux) if you have very large files in your workspace that rat is trying to analyze. Unfortunately, rat is not just looking at files tracked by git but any files that are in your checkout directory and aren't excluded in gradle/rat.gradle.
So maybe check to see if you have any large files lying around in your checkout? -Dan On Mon, Mar 13, 2017 at 2:55 PM, Bruce Schuchardt <bschucha...@pivotal.io> wrote: > The "rat" task has started hanging on my Windows 7 machine.
