• Quite verbose • Expressiveness of XML is limited •
It’s hard to trace
So, What We Really Want?
• Easy to customize and extend • Abstraction and structuring
A Better Way To Build!
Gradle • Ease of migration • Declarative builds and build-by-convention
• Rich DSL based on Groovy • Leverage both Ant and Maven • Gradle Wrapper
Gradle is Groovy Groovy is Java
// build.gradle System.out.println(“Java Way”); 4.times { print it }
> gradle Java Way 0 1 2 3 :help Welcome
to Gradle 1.2. To run a build, run gradle <task> ... To see a list of available tasks, run gradle tasks To see a list of command-line options, run gradle --help BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 2.454 secs
Task task myTask task myTask { configure closure } task
myType << { task action } task myTask(type: SomeType) task myTask(type: SomeType) { configure closure}
Hello World // build.gradle task hello { doLast { println
‘Hello World!’ } } > gradle -q hello Hello World!
A shortcut task definition task hello << { println ‘Hello
World!’ }
Build scripts are code task upper << { String someString
= ‘mY_nAmE’ println “Original: $someString“ println “Upper: “ + someString.toUpperCase() } > gradle -q upper Original: mY_nAmE Upper: MY_NAME
Groovy in Gradle’s tasks task count << { 4.times {
print “$it “ } } > gradle -q count 0 1 2 3
Task dependencies task hello << { println ‘Hello World’ }
task intro(dependsOn: hello) << { println “I’m Gradle” } > gradle -q intro Hello World! I’m Gradle
Lazy dependsOn task X(dependsOn: ‘Y’) << { println ‘X’ }
task Y << { println ‘Y’ } > gradle -q X Y X
Dynamic tasks 4.times { counter -> task “task$counter” << {
println “I’m task number $counter” } } > gradle -q task1 I’m task number 1
Default tasks defaultTasks ‘clean’, ‘run’ task clean << { println
‘Default Cleaning!’ } task run << { println ‘Default Running!’ } task other << { println “I’m not a default task!” } > gradle -q Default Cleaning! Default Running!
Configure by DAG task distribution << { println "We build
the zip with version=$version" } task release(dependsOn: 'distribution') << { println 'We release now' } gradle.taskGraph.whenReady { if (it.hasTask(release)) { version = '1.0' } else { version = '1.0-SNAPSHOT' } }
Build Phases • Initialization • Configuration • The build scripts
of all projects which are part of the build are executed. • Execution
Build phases (cont.) // settings.gradle println ‘initialization phase’ // build.gradle
println ‘configuration phase’ task configured { println ‘configuration phase’ } task test << { println ‘execution phase’ }
Build phases (output) > gradle test initialization phase initialization phase
execution phase :test BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 1 secs
Ant are first class citizens // build.xml <project> <property name=”gradleName”
value=”Gradle”/> <target name=”helloFromAnt”> <echo message=”Hello Ant!”/> </target> </project> // build.gradle ant.importBuild ‘build.xml’ task hello(dependsOn: helloFromAnt) << { println ‘Hello ‘ + ant.gradleName }
Ant are first class citizens (cont.) > gradle tasks --all
/* skip */ Other tasks ---------- hello helloFromAnt > gradle hello :helloFromAnt [ant:echo] Hello Ant! :hello Hello Gradle BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 2.015 secs
