Gradle 6 --no-daemon still depends on daemon -- even if it wont start

Help/Discuss
1

Hi–

I’ve just upgraded to Gradle 6 and my builds on Jenkins are now failing – reverting back to 5.6.4 resolves the issue.

$ ./gradlew --no-daemon clean assemble > /tmp/t4

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    The first result from the daemon was empty. Most likely the process died immediately after connection.

  • Try:
    Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

  • Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

Not captured in the output above is the following:

To honour the JVM settings for this build a new JVM will be forked. Please consider using the daemon: The Gradle Daemon.

Starting Daemon

How can I build without a daemon? Thanks.

This is not possible. The “Daemon” started is the process that runs the build. Without the process, you can’t build. The --daemon / --no-daemon option is about daemon behavior of that build process. It either starts and continues to run in the background (--daemon) so that it can be used for multiple builds, or it terminates immediately after each build (--no-daemon).

This is true for Gradle 6 and Gradle 5.x (and earlier).

You have Gradle 6 problem with your build here (perhaps memory related), not a daemon problem.

Hi–

As a long time Gradle user, I thought that the right way on a build server was to not use the daemon – I didn’t realize that it was changed to always run one.

So how do I troubleshoot what is going on with it?

The logs look like:

With the daemon, there’s no obvious exception or error that I can see.

Anyhow, rolling back to the previous version works – how can this be debugged further? Thanks.

Nothing has changed recently in regards to starting that same daemon process for all builds. That has been the case for many years. Yes, the recommendation was to not enable the daemon on build servers so that each CI build was completely isolated, but disabling the daemon didn’t mean that the Gradle daemon process was never started. It just meant that it was started and stopped for every build, and not reused for multiple builds.

The communication between the client and daemon process is over network sockets. If I had to guess, it seems like something might have changed in Gradle 6.0 that is not compatible with the networking setup on your build server. However, this is just a guess and I haven’t looked at any of the Gradle 6.0 changes enough to even suggest what you might want to look at. It could also be an edge case with this that would need fixing in Gradle.
