Conventional way of copying files in Gradle – use Copy task or copy method?

December 5, 2023 by Tarik

In most cases (including this one), the Copy task is the better choice. Among other things, it will give you automatic up-to-date checking.

~/.gradle/gradle.properties file not being read

November 29, 2023 by Tarik

Gradle: compile tests but do not run them

November 25, 2023 by Tarik

TL;DR: gradle testClasses compiles the test source code. The tasks for compiling the test source code will not be needed when the test-task is excluded.
