I’m using Gradle 2.14 on both OS X and Windows.
On OS X, --console option works as documented. For example,
>gradle --console=plain tasks
switches output to plain.
On Windows, this option does not seem to be recognized at all:
>gradle --console=rich tasks
outputs help.
What’s up with that? Is a defect in order?
Can you post a screenshot? I am not able to reproduce this. Running gradle --console=rich tasks returns a properly colored task listing on Windows.
It looks like you are providing some other command line arguments for --console. I could reproduce your error message (Multiple arguments were provided for command-line option '--console'.) by running gradle --console=plain --console=rich.
Could you check your GRADLE_OPTS? My guess would be that you are already setting --console=plain there.
Cheers,
Stefan
