Interface BuildLauncher
- All Superinterfaces:
- ConfigurableLauncher<BuildLauncher>,- LongRunningOperation
BuildLauncher allows you to configure and execute a Gradle build.
 
 Instances of BuildLauncher are not thread-safe. You use a BuildLauncher as follows:
 
- Create an instance of BuildLauncherby callingProjectConnection.newBuild().
- Configure the launcher as appropriate.
- Call either run()orrun(ResultHandler)to execute the build.
- Optionally, you can reuse the launcher to launch additional builds.
 ProjectConnection connection = GradleConnector.newConnector()
    .forProjectDirectory(new File("some-folder"))
    .connect();
 try {
    BuildLauncher build = connection.newBuild();
    //select tasks to run:
    build.forTasks("clean", "test");
    //include some build arguments:
    build.withArguments("-i", "--project-dir", "some-project-dir");
    //configure the standard input:
    build.setStandardInput(new ByteArrayInputStream("consume this!".getBytes()));
    //in case you want the build to use java different than default:
    build.setJavaHome(new File("/path/to/java"));
    //if your build needs crazy amounts of memory:
    build.setJvmArguments("-Xmx2048m", "-XX:MaxPermSize=512m");
    //if you want to listen to the progress events:
    ProgressListener listener = null; // use your implementation
    build.addProgressListener(listener);
    //kick the build off:
    build.run();
 } finally {
    connection.close();
 }
 
 If the target Gradle version is >=6.8 then you can use BuildLauncher to execute tasks from included builds. You can target tasks from included builds by specifying the task
 identity path (i.e. ':included-build-name:subproject-name:taskName').

Method Details- 
forTasksSets the tasks to be executed. If no tasks are specified, the project's default tasks are executed.- Parameters:
- tasks- The paths of the tasks to be executed. Relative paths are evaluated relative to the project for which this launcher was created.
- Returns:
- this

runExecutes the build, blocking until it is complete.- Throws:
- UnsupportedVersionException- When the target Gradle version does not support build execution.
- UnsupportedOperationConfigurationException- When the target Gradle version does not support some requested configuration option such as- ConfigurableLauncher.withArguments(String...).
- UnsupportedBuildArgumentException- When there is a problem with build arguments provided by- ConfigurableLauncher.withArguments(String...).
- BuildException- On some failure executing the Gradle build.
- BuildCancelledException- When the operation was cancelled before it completed successfully.
- GradleConnectionException- On some other failure using the connection.
- IllegalStateException- When the connection has been closed or is closing.
- Since:
- 1.0-milestone-3
 
- 
runLaunches the build. This method returns immediately, and the result is later passed to the given handler.If the operation fails, the handler's ResultHandler.onFailure(GradleConnectionException)method is called with the appropriate exception. Seerun()for a description of the various exceptions that the operation may fail with.- Parameters:
- handler- The handler to supply the result to.
- Throws:
- IllegalStateException- When the connection has been closed or is closing.
