I hit a snag while trying to migrate to Gradle 6.1.1 (from 5.6.4) and as a part of that effort, implement configuration avoidance changes.
Here’s a simple recap of what happens in otherwise a very complex multi-project setup:
We have a somewhat expensive but automated way to get the version of what we’re building. This gets assigned to all projects’ project.version. Since this isn’t always needed I converted this process to a task on which, among other ones, all “jar” tasks depend.
We configure “dependency configurations” and dependencies to include these jars as follows: dependencies { someConfiguration someProject.files(someProject.someJarTask.archivePath); }
Later, packaging tasks use those configurations to include these jars into appropriate packages.
The problem appears to be that (1) now does not run on time for (2) to have the version ready for inclusion in dependency configuration jar paths but it will be ready for jar tasks themselves (because we did set up task dependencies), yielding correct but different and non-matching paths.
Any suggestions how to work this out?
In essence:
Is it possible to declare that particular “dependency configuration” is itself dependent on execution of some task?
Is it possible to declare that the configuration of one task is dependent on execution of another?
Is there a better way to add built jars to dependencies so that we don’t have to play with the file paths?
I think the answer to the first 2 questions is no because Configuration is a phase. Until that phase completes it doesn’t move to execution.
And the way we do version is, every IDE project has a gradle.properties and we put a property (local_version) there to specify version. Then the version is availble in the build script as a property. You can set version = project.property(“local_version”).
But we also have our own custom Version class to enforce a sematic versioning scheme. That’s something that Gradle should add. Gradle’s version is just a string.
Our approach determines a version based on current Git branch, previous Git tags discovered, commit distance from them and some environmental properties/variables. These are not meant to be stored in files in Git as those would be wrong by definition (e.g. build reruns, other branches, etc). We determine these automatically and this works quite well. The issue is that it takes some part of a second I’m trying to eliminate when not needed.
I’ve tried similar things. The problem is that it is too late by then - other tasks not in my control have already been configured with incorrect versions by then. Even though I can (and did) reconfigure, say the jar task, other tasks that reference it have already been “tainted” by no version at all…
Also, I was looking for something more pure Gradle and less Git aware. Determining if .git folder changed in a relevant way isn’t trivial. Simple checks may yield many false positives and non-trivial checks may be as “expensive”. A little bit of clarification - when I got tasks to execute within 4-6 seconds (other than the first launch), saving another quarter to half second becomes meaningful.
That worked! Accepted as a solution. However it also only exposed the ugly truth - something in configuration (not ours, perhaps Java plugin) eagerly accesses the version and forces the process to happen all the time anyway.
Well, but, if I set that, I’d need the version in there (we want it). Unless you mean something like hacking to set an initial default to stop it from doing its own default… until we then have to set it again ourselves later…
You could look at the task graph to see if you want to do the expensive operation to get the version (ie in a release scenario). If you’re not doing a release you could use a placeholder (ie -SNAPSHOT in the link)
Yes, I did. But the goal isn’t to reduce build functionality. It is to organize the build better so that we don’t execute what isn’t needed for certain tasks, thus making them faster. We do need those versions in.
It isn’t needed for all tasks. We use Gradle extensively. It isn’t always building jars. Jars need versions, as do some other tasks. But there are utility tasks for which this is pure overhead.
I understand what you are saying but that significantly increases complexity. Instead of the tasks “knowing” whether they need a version or not, or having the version be something otherwise “asked for”, I’d have to implement and maintain a dedicated subsystem just to handle this case … and that system would have to “know” about each and every task’s version needs… That is way too much effort for the value it brings and, in my view, should not really have to be done. If everything (or these things) were lazily initialized (when needed = on access, not before) we wouldn’t need this complexity.
Here’s the first one, running only the help task in Gradle 6.2.1. Showing just the root cause with the complete stack trace:

How annoying, I was hoping to see a task in the stack trace but it seems to be caused by org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.moduleconverter.DefaultRootComponentMetadataBuilder.buildRootComponentMetadata(...)
Yes! I understand and was hoping for the same - that would have given me a chance to do something about it. But that is only one spot. I initially just logged the traces and that produced a gigaton of logs just for the help task.
I also timed the versioning logic. It adds 1.5-2 seconds. Not a lot for longer running tasks but annoying for utility ones…

Yeah, I get it. That sucks, especially if every action in your IDE is delayed. Perhaps your time is better spent figuring out a way to cache the result
