hi there,
I just tried to use a custom logger like explained in example 16.6 of
the gradle user guide.
When running the example with the plain call "useLogger(new
CustomLogger())" the build fails because the method useLogger can not
be resolved. If I use "gradle.useLogger(new CustomLogger())" it works.
who/what is wrong here? me, the userguide, or the implementation?"
I guess it's the user guide that's the problem here. The example shows
an init script, not a build script. Init scripts delegate to a Gradle
instance, so useLogger() ends up calling Gradle.useLogger(). Build
scripts, on the other hand, delegate to a Project instance, which
doesn't have a useLogger() method. This is why useLogger() doesn't work
and gradle.useLogger() does in the build script.
This could be clearer in the user guide.
We could, I suppose, add a Project.useLogger() method.
Gradle.useLogger() uses the given logger for all projects in the build.
Project.useLogger() method should probably only apply the logger for
events from that project (and maybe it's child projects). So, even if we
added Project.useLogger(), it would work differently to Gradle.useLogger().
