Hi,
first of all my congratulations to Gradle 0.6! I'm happy to say that
compiling and running Spock specifications now works just fine. Also
I'm
impressed with the much improved build script DSL.
I have a HelloSpock project that contains a single Groovy class (a
Spock
specification). What puzzles me a bit is that 'gradle test' takes 10
seconds
to complete. By comparison, 'ant test' takes 3 seconds, and 'mvn
test' 8
seconds.
What version of Maven are you using?
This is on repeated invocation, i.e. all downloading and
compilation has already taken place. Do you consider this
acceptable? Would
the difference be less pronounced for bigger projects?
First of all I'm surprised by the seven seconds difference. It would
be interesting to see which areas are mostly responsible for this
(startup time, dependency management, testing, ...). We will have a
look at this. I assume it is less pronounced in larger projects. But
we have to examine this to be sure.
Having said this, there are many aspects that affect build script
performance. Where we focus on in 0.7 is to become smarter in regard
to change detection. For larger builds that might me much more
important than the startup time, if the latter is the reason for the
above behavior.
Thanks a lot for checking this out
- Hans
