Gradle --show-version

Question

What is the Gradle analog for Maven's --show-version option?

 -V,--show-version                      Display version information
                                        WITHOUT stopping build

Output includes Maven, Java and OS versions:

Apache Maven 3.1.1 (0728685237757ffbf44136acec0402957f723d9a; 2013-09-17 23:22:22+0800)
Maven home: D:\Progs\maven\apache-maven-3.1.1
Java version: 1.7.0_11, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11\jre
Default locale: zh_CN, platform encoding: GBK
OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"  

-version stops the build. Both lines below give the same result: version only

gradle build -version
gradle -version build

Answer 1

Since Gradle 5.0, GradleVersion is no longer accessible. Use

project.getGradle().getGradleVersion()

instead.

For example:

task printGradleVersion() {
    def gradleVersion = project.getGradle().getGradleVersion()
    println "Gradle version: $gradleVersion"
}

See the docs for more information.

Answer 2

You can use:

gradle -v

This is the output:

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 1.10
------------------------------------------------------------
Build time:   2013-12-17 09:28:15 UTC
Build number: none
Revision:     36ced393628875ff15575fa03d16c1349ffe8bb6
Groovy:       1.8.6
Ant:          Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.2 compiled on July 8 2013
Ivy:          2.2.0
JVM:          1.7.0_51 (Oracle Corporation 24.51-b03)
OS:           Linux 2.6.32-042stab079.5 amd64

If you use it in CI environment, it doesn't stop the build.
