Gradle 4.4 -> 4.10: Dependencies being downloaded are not shown anymore

Question

I've been using Gradle 4.4 and when downloading dependencies from Maven central, or any repo, it would print this to stdout like such:

Download https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/commons/commons-lang3/3.3.2/commons-lang3-3.3.2.pom

However, after upgrading to Gradle 4.10, it doesn't show this anymore, it just hangs for a while without output, leaving the developer wondering what's going on.

Is there a command line flag or some other option to bring this output back?

Answer 1

This is a change made in Gradle 4.10 , described in the ticket #6098, and also discussed in the pull request PR #6104 (see Gradle 4.10 Release Notes)

The log level of download events has been reduced by default, but You can turn it on again by using --info option.
