When running with the daemon on Gradle 2.8, logging output is missing, which is causing the logging output from all of our plugins, and much of the Gradle logging output to be dropped on the floor. For example, with a completely empty project:
# gradlew --info
Connected to daemon DaemonInfo{pid=16749, address=[63eb3dd6-0718-462a-973f-a3dfb19756e5 port:64653, addresses:[/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1, /127.0.0.1]], idle=true, context=DefaultDaemonContext[uid=12d222f3-624f-4111-b557-d18a937fe667,javaHome=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home,daemonRegistryDir=/Users/dannyt/.gradle/daemon,pid=16749,idleTimeout=10800000,daemonOpts=-XX:MaxPermSize=256m,-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError,-Xmx1024m,-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8,-Duser.country=US,-Duser.language=en,-Duser.variant]}.
