Interface ModelBuilder<T>

Type Parameters:
T - The type of model to build
All Superinterfaces:
ConfigurableLauncher<ModelBuilder<T>>, LongRunningOperation
public interface ModelBuilder<T> extends ConfigurableLauncher<ModelBuilder<T>>
A ModelBuilder allows you to fetch a snapshot of some model for a project or a build. Instances of ModelBuilder are not thread-safe.

You use a ModelBuilder as follows:

Example: 
 ProjectConnection connection = GradleConnector.newConnector()
    .forProjectDirectory(new File("someFolder"))
    .connect();

 try {
    ModelBuilder<GradleProject> builder = connection.model(GradleProject.class);

    //configure the standard input in case your build is interactive:
    builder.setStandardInput(new ByteArrayInputStream("consume this!".getBytes()));

    //if you want to listen to the progress events:
    ProgressListener listener = null; // use your implementation
    builder.addProgressListener(listener);

    //get the model:
    GradleProject project = builder.get();

    //query the model for information:
    System.out.println("Available tasks: " + project.getTasks());
 } finally {
    connection.close();
 }

  • Method Details

    • forTasks

      ModelBuilder<T> forTasks(String... tasks)

      Specifies the tasks to execute before building the model.

      If not configured, null, or an empty array is passed, then no tasks will be executed.

      If the target Gradle version is >=6.8 then you can 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').

      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

    • forTasks

      ModelBuilder<T> forTasks(Iterable<String> tasks)

      Specifies the tasks to execute before building the model.

      If not configured, null, or an empty array is passed, then no tasks will be executed.

      If the target Gradle version is >=6.8 then you can 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').

      Parameters:
      tasks - The paths of the tasks to be executed. Relative paths are evaluated relative to the project for which this launcher was created.

    • get

      T get() throws GradleConnectionException, IllegalStateException
      Fetch the model, blocking until it is available.
      Returns:
      The model.
      Throws:
      UnsupportedVersionException - When the target Gradle version does not support building models.
      UnknownModelException - When the target Gradle version or build does not support the requested model.
      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.

    • get

      void get(ResultHandler<? super T> handler) throws IllegalStateException
      Starts fetching the model, passing the result to the given handler when complete. This method returns immediately, and the result is later passed to the given handler's ResultHandler.onComplete(Object) method.

      If the operation fails, the handler's ResultHandler.onFailure(GradleConnectionException) method is called with the appropriate exception. See get() 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.
