Gradle keeps waiting for JavaExec task to Complete. But I want gradle to move to other task and let the JavaExec Application to run in background till build is over .
In Ant we simply acheived this by <parallel><daemons> <java fork="true"> <daemons/><parallel/>
But in gradle not getting a Simpler solution and Worker API seems complex. JavaExec already triggers the app in fork then why should i use Worker API ? Only requirement here is to let the JavaExec execute and dont wait for it
Please help if any inputs
My Requirement is like below: Both JavaExec App1 and App2 should stay running while my junit tests will run . Once JunitTest completes then App1 and App2 to shut and build to complete.
task.register("Runner"){
dependsOn(['CompiletestClasses','RunJavaApplication1','RunJavaApplication2','RunJunitTests'])
}
tasks.register('RunJavaApplication1', JavaExec){}
tasks.register('RunJavaApplication2', JavaExec){}
I tried using ExecutorService es = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor() es.execute({ project.javaexec { It runs the Java App in background as expected but the Application does not gets closed after the gradle buid finishes
Make sure next task is no marked to depend on JavaExec.
docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/…
@LMC Even if we dont put dependency Gradle runs one task at a time so it will stay on the JavaExec task only and not move further …… Tried –parallel and org.gradle.parallel=true in gradle.properties both didnot work
