Uploaded War or Tar information is not printing on Jenkins console after upgrading to Gradle 6

Question

I have updated gradle from 4.6 to 6.1, now the problem is I cant see any information printed on jenkins console upon running publishBootJavaPublicationToMavenRepository task.

Before after this task use to see something like Upload: http://nexusblabla.war but now nothing is printing with this task.

tl;dr

If you simply would like to get back the log messages for uploaded files, then you have to use Gradle’s --info command line option. To stay with your example:

gradle --info publishBootJavaPublicationToMavenRepository

Some Background

I don’t know why but obviously the log level for these messages has changed from LIFECYLCE to INFO with Gradle 4.10. You can see the difference with the --debug option when publishing:

• with Gradle 4.9 you get:

11:44:55.666 [LIFECYCLE] [org.gradle.internal.resource.transfer.ProgressLoggingExternalResourceUploader] Upload http://127.0.0.1:8000/com/example/foo/1.0.0/foo-1.0.0.zip

• with Gradle 4.10.3 you get:

11:55:44.666 [INFO] [org.gradle.api.publication.maven.internal.action.LoggingMavenTransferListener] Uploading: com/example/foo/3.0.0/foo-3.0.0.zip to repository remote at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Unfortunately, this change does neither seem to be mentioned in the release notes nor any issue/commit – or at least I couldn’t find any such mentions. For completeness’ sake, here are all release notes entries for Gradle versions newer than 4.6 that are related to console logging:
