Gradle Exec block doesn't redirect standardOutput to given output stream












1















I have block like this one:



task print() {
doLast {
println("stop-1")
println(getJavaVersion())
println("stop-3")
}
}

def getJavaVersion() {
def out = new ByteArrayOutputStream()
exec {
workingDir 'C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_80/bin'
commandLine 'cmd', '/c', 'java', '-version'
standardOutput = out
}

println 'stop-2'
return out.toString()
}


And I would expect that the output will be printed inside doLast block of print task, but it's printed just after exec block.



This is the output:



Executing tasks: [print]

Parallel execution with configuration on demand is an incubating feature.

> Task :gcUnicorn-core:print
stop-1
java version "1.7.0_80"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_80-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.80-b11, mixed mode)
stop-2

stop-3

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s
1 actionable task: 1 executed


As you can see, the output stream is empty.



I went trough Gradle's documentation and many examples I found, but have no luck to solve it.



Gradle: 4.10.2, Windows: 7, jdk1.8.0_192



Thank you for any advice.

  • I simply printed the out variable outside getJavaVersion() without declaring it, and lo behold its an object reference!!

Actually java -version prints the message to the standard error and not standard output (stdout), so instead try:



    errorOutput = out
