Hi experts,
I work for an enterprise company and our build scripts (Ant, batch,
shell) are trouble. I'm asked to investigate the problems and come up
with a solution direction.
I started playing with Maven till somebody told me to have a look at
Gradle. And I'm actually getting exited about this tool. But I have a
specific use case, and I'm wondering whether Gradle supports this.
Our SVN branch is huge (3.62GB / 170984 files) and the main structure
looks like this:
root
components
basicutil
eventservice
bpmengine
...70 more...
..misc...
Every team is responsible for a few components. A developer does a
partial checkout of his component (a full checkout is not workable).
Now we have 2 scenario's
1) The main build server does a full checkout and full build every night.
2) The developer wants to build and test only his component before he
commits a change.
A requirement is to share build scripts
(conventions/declarations/etc.) as much as possible.
Is scenario 2 supported by Gradle? What I understood so far is that
Gradle is looking in parent-parent folders for common/parent/shared
build scripts, which is not available on a developer machine (due to
partial checkout).
Looking forward to your feedback!
Kind regards,
Gerwin Jansen
buildmaster
