User manual examples frustrating

Hi.

I’m trying to get into Gradle. So decided that pdf version (6.3) of the manual is a nice place to get some basics. But quite a lot of examples don’t have full gradle.build file that causes errors and a research how to get same results as in the manual. I tried to search for some source code of it but without success.

So could you point me to a place with full examples in case it is exists?

The code snippets shown in the user guide are not just documentation. They are fully functioning examples that are tested as part of the CI build. Each snippet shown in the user guide is extracted when the docs are generated. You can find the snippets here: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/tree/master/subprojects/docs/src/snippets

Thanks for the link James.

It is very cool that examples are tested within CI but still for a reader it doesn’t give any help. It would be very nice if manual will contain some link to source code.
