Gradle Daemon Nedir?

Giriş

Açıklaması şöyle. Gradle Daemon arka planda çalışır. Çünkü Gradle'ı ayağa kaldırmak ve ilklendirmek çok uzun sürüyor. 

Gradle runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and uses several supporting libraries that require a non-trivial initialization time. As a result, it can sometimes seem a little slow to start. The solution to this problem is the Gradle Daemon: a long-lived background process that executes your builds much more quickly than would otherwise be the case. We accomplish this by avoiding the expensive bootstrapping process and leveraging caching by keeping data about your project in memory.

Gradle Daemon Aşamaları

Açıklaması şöyle. 

Once the Gradle Client JVM establishes a connection with an idle daemon that is compatible, it transmits the required build data, such as command line arguments, project directory, and environment variables. The daemon then initiates the build process and returns the build output, including logs and standard output/error, to the client via a local socket connection.

Gradle Daemon 3 aşamada çalışır

1. Initialization Phase

2. Configuration Phase

3. Execution Phase

1. Initialization Phase

Yapılandırma aşamasında kullanılacak Java nesneleri ilklendirilir

2. Configuration Phase

Projenin gradle script'i yüklenir

3. Execution Phase

Task ve ona bağlı action'lar çalıştırılır
