How about not printing UP-TO-DATE tasks during a normal build?

During a normal build most of my tasks are usually UP-TO-DATE and proudly say so during the build process.

I was wondering if it wouldn’t make sense to only report tasks that are actually executed, i.e. tasks that are not UP-TO-DATE? The current behavior could be a more verbose mode that one could toggle on if desired.

The only downside I can think of at the moment is that this could potentially confuse new users. They could assume that nothing is executed because something is wrong with the build…

I’v started using the following script (I call it ‘g’) to invoke gradle:

#! /bin/bash

gradle --daemon $* | egrep --color=always -v ‘UP-TO-DATE|SKIPPED’

It means I can run gradle in a much smaller ‘konsole’ tile and have a lot of space to watch the logs as gradle deploys my applications.
