Thread: Build Automation Tools

Further on this I would really like to see how a proper automated build/deploy pipeline would work with a server. Right now I can imagine server owners having to manually copy a jar or w/e and then restarting a shell script which all seems quite tedious.

If you're interested in #667/rs2011, I'm writing [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] framework using kotlin & gradle.
That might help.

you want to use ansible (or chef/puppet/etc) for something like automated deployments. gradle is a build-time solution tool, not a deployment tool

That might've been after his time...

I been using Gradle since 2018. I very well know what I'm talking about and doing. I've used Android Studio for over a year. I know what a hell Gradle can be.

I can openup a Gradle project right now in Intellij and get 100 syntax errors for whatever reason. They are just not completly stable together.

+1. Big fan of gradle, but sometimes the integration/support with ITJ is sub-par. The errors are often spurious too, which makes debugging or reasoning about the issues a lot of fun

Doubt it, actually. Oftentimes the build script(s) will be syntactically correct and the IDE will still error out the ass. In this situation, I find the Gradle CLI correctly able to process the scripts but the IDE incapable of doing so.

I’ve often ran into cases where the CLI was more reliable than my IDE, but it wasn’t as though i couldn’t code, just false positives.

Nobody has posted any issues yet to prove me wrong and if I used your "broken" project on my system and it doesn't fail, then somebody is doing something wrong.

I've experienced this issue mostly when using the KT flavour of Gradle in multi-module builds. Be skeptical all you want, doesn't mean these limitations/issues aren't valid.

I'm a bit lost as to what that url is doing here ngl.
