Hi all:
I am currently struggling in the attempt of getting to see the output
of an ant task.
As described in ch. 8.1 of the user guide, I tried to set the
redirection from QUIET to log level INFO, as follows...
task('compile').doLast {
project.captureStandardOutput(LogLevel.INFO)
ant.exec(executable: 'cmd', dir: projectDir) {
arg(value: '/c')
arg(value: 'nmake')
}
}
... also calling disableStandardOutputCapture() on my project didn't
bring the stdout to gradle's console.
Any ideas?
Ant tasks have two ways of sending messages. Either with println
(which is not such a good idea I think, but quite a few Ant tasks do
this). Or via the Ant logging framework.
In the first case you will see the output in Gradle without the need
to reconfigure anything. The standard out is by default redirected to
QUIET, which is the highest level and is always shown. The reason
behind this that people might put prinltn debug statements in there
build script so this should always show up by default. There are some
Ant task we use under the hood, which use println to send non critical
messages (e.g. groovydoc). For the execution of such tasks we redirect
for example standard out to the INFO level.
Fortunately most Ant tasks use the Ant logging framework. We catch
messages send to this framework and redirect them to the Gradle
logging system. Those messages have a log level and we send them to
the corresponding Gradle log level. Error->QUIET, Warning->LIFECYCLE,
Info->INFO, ...
Unfortunately this is fixed. So there is no easy solution for your
problem. You could probably hook into our very flexible underlying
logback logging system to make this work. But I guess the easier way
is, if you could file a Jira. This should be very easy to implement
and I would do this rather soon. If you don't mind working with trunk
you should be fine then.
