The reasoning is simple: improve build speed by reusing computations from previous builds
Running Daemon Status
To get a list of running Gradle Daemons and their statuses use the --status command.
Sample output:
PID VERSION STATUS
28411 3.0 IDLE
34247 3.0 BUSY
Disabling the Daemon
You can disable the long-lived Gradle daemon via the
--no-daemon command-line option
, or by adding
org.gradle.daemon=false
to your gradle.properties file
Stopping an existing Daemon
If you want to explicitly stop running Daemon processes for any reason, just use the
command gradle --stop.
How do I disable the Gradle Daemon?
Via environment variables:
add the flag -Dorg.gradle.daemon=false
to the GRADLE_OPTS environment variable
Via properties file:
add org.gradle.daemon=false
to the «GRADLE_USER_HOME»/gradle.properties file
On Windows, this command will disable the Daemon for the current user:
(if not exist "%USERPROFILE%/.gradle" mkdir "%USERPROFILE%/.gradle") && (echo. >> "%USERPROFILE%/.gradle/gradle.properties" && echo org.gradle.daemon=false >> "%USERPROFILE%/.gradle/gradle.properties")
On UNIX-like operating systems, the following Bash shell command will disable the Daemon for the current user:
mkdir -p ~/.gradle && echo "org.gradle.daemon=false" >> ~/.gradle/gradle.properties
Once the Daemon is disabled for a build environment in this way, a Gradle Daemon will not be started unless explicitly requested using the --daemon option.
Why is there more than one Daemon process on my machine?
If the requested build environment does not specify a maximum heap size, the Daemon will use up to 512MB of heap. It will use the JVM’s default minimum heap size. 512MB is more than enough for most builds.
How can I stop a Daemon?
Daemon process before this, you can either kill the process via your operating system or run the
gradle --stop
Watching the file system
To force Gradle to keep information about unsupported file systems between builds, the feature must be enabled explicitly by one of these methods:
Run with --watch-fs on the command line
This forces watching the file system for this build only.
Put
org.gradle.vfs.watch=true
in your gradle.properties
This forces watching the file system for all builds, unless explicitly disabled with --no-watch-fs.
