Hi all,
Just performed a test to detect changes so we can decide whether
something has changed in a source / resource directory.
What I tested was the following compute SHA of a directory based on all
files in that directory:
absolute file path + last modified date + file content.
On the Gradle source / resource directories this comes down to the
following:
gradle-0.5.2\src\main\groovy : 7a5160bffe95f236dfceb2ac3d1609a747eb132c
gradle-0.5.2\src\main\resources : de37bc2b812b9116b400e3708a0a19524fb2aed8
gradle-0.5.2\src\test\groovy : 7f49b3276ef4b60b42d5880dad4367470bc64a75
gradle-0.5.2\src\test\resources : 7915e5a3449a5584dbafc542a3f9abda687da783
time taken: PT0.797S
I think this is fast enough.
That's only about 612 files, which isn't that big. Do you really need to
include the file content, or can you trust the OS to update last modified date?
Seems better to just use absolute file path + last modified date.
