Suppressing interactive output in Gradle exec tasks

问题

Some Gradle Exec tasks produce excessive output when the command updates text in place.

When run from a terminal, these commands produce a couple of lines of output that are updated in place.

When run from within Gradle, they produce a new line of output each time something is updated, e.g.:

docker build:

task dockerBuild(type: Exec) {
    commandLine 'docker', 'build', '-t', 'foo', '.'
}

when run produces:

Sending build context to Docker daemon 557.1 kB
Sending build context to Docker daemon 1.114 MB
Sending build context to Docker daemon 1.646 MB
Sending build context to Docker daemon  2.17 MB
Sending build context to Docker daemon  2.72 MB
Sending build context to Docker daemon 3.277 MB
Sending build context to Docker daemon 3.834 MB
Sending build context to Docker daemon 4.391 MB
... hundreds more lines ...

wget:

task fetchData(type: Exec) {
    commandLine 'wget', 'http://example.org/some/large/file'
}

when run outputs:

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 209715200 (200M) [application/zip]
Saving to: '200MB.zip'

... thousands more lines ...

Is this anything I can fix from within Gradle (e.g. ask it to execute commands in non-interactive mode), or is it down to individual applications to provide flags for disabling this sort of output?

回答1:

From Exec DSL documentation, you can redirect the output of the executable to your own stream.

//store the output instead of printing to the console:
standardOutput = new ByteArrayOutputStream()

You could optionally also redirect error stream to keep it completely quiet, but by leaving it intact, you'll see any exit errors in gradle log.
