I was trapped into problem as discussed here - performance of multimodule builds (gradle 2.9)
https://discuss.gradle.org/t/taking-advantage-of-configuration-on-demand?source_topic_id=13081
Please consider following use-case:
- I’m working on the large multi-module project - 300 modules under 50 parent modules
- Currently we are evaluating switching from MAVEN to Gradle as a build system - mostly because of Gradle’s flexibility in build configuration
- Each group consist of modules of following types - API, IMPL, UI, TEST and some other staff. Modules under current parent module may or may not have references on modules within other parent projects.
- I’m as a developer of sub-set of modules rather frequently build/re-build only own set of child modules - the most typical case - exactly one module, which is IMPL
And currently I experience extremely annoying time-killing feature of gradle - in such environment any simple action taken over individual sub-module takes at least 10 seconds. This is caused by the way Gradle treats multi-module projects:
- all sub-modules have to be defined in the root-most settings.gradle, this roughly makes a plain list of all modules - 350
- when starting up gradle in any child directory - it configures ALL modules in the project
During investigation of possible solutions to that problem i came across the link i’ve posted in the very beginning and tried reworking my build script from ‘allprojects {}’ into root build.gradle to org.gradle.configureondemand=true in gradle.properties plus
gradle.beforeProject { project ->
...
}
And the problem i’m experiencing now - build does work when started in some of the child modules. Starting builds in other modules cause strange internal exception and i could not find the cause. Anybody here having the clue?
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':dummy-parent:dummy-child'.
> Unexpected afterEvaluate event received without beforeEvaluate
* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.ProjectConfigurationException: A problem occurred configuring project ':dummy-parent:dummy-child'.
