Set "gradlew --debug" when SECURE_LOG_LEVEL is set
Release notes
Problem to solve
Our gradlew command currently doesn't add domain-specific debugging flags when the general SECURE_LOG_LEVEL: "debug" is used.
This limits support's and customers' ability to debug build failures/exceptions. For example:
[DEBU] [gemnasium-maven] [… /go/src/app/builder/gradle/gradle.go:115] ▶ /tmp/builds/…/gradlew --init-script /gemnasium-init.gradle gemnasiumDumpDependencies
FAILURE: Build completed with … failures.
1: Task failed with an exception.
-----------
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task '…:gemnasiumDumpDependencies'.
> Project has 5 unresolved dependencies: …
* Try:
> Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights.
Currently, customers can try those suggestions by adding them to the *_CLI_OPTS analyzer env vars. Examples where this helped:
-
ZD 531020: Found Gradle-specific parallelization issue
Cannot acquire project lock …gemnasiumDumpDependencies=> gradle#20290.
Proposal
We could preemptively apply the Gradle suggestion there and set --debug (plus --stacktrace and/or --scan) when SECURE_LOG_LEVEL: "debug" is set. For example, gradle.go could receive a SECURE_LOG_LEVEL-conditional append(args, "--debug").
