Info output for build cache

Help/Discuss
1

In previous versions of Gradle, if gradle was invoked with the --info option and the build cache was in effect, there would be output like: Appending … to build cache key …

This output appears to be removed, at least at the “info” level of output, from Gradle 4.6 (and 4.7). This output was really useful when I tried to demonstrate to other DevOps engineers how the build cache worked.

Is there a way to get this output back, particularly without all printing all of the debug level output?

Hi Bob,

there is now the flag org.gradle.caching.debug, which, when set to true, causes printing out all the hashes (see the build cache guide).

Cheers,
Stefan

Thanks, @Stefan_Wolf. That’s perfect. I guess I hadn’t revisited that page since the change was made.
