Logging
Until now we have used println
everywhere in the build script to display the messages to the user. If you are coming from a Java background you know a println
statement is not the right way to give information to the user. You need logging. Logging helps the user to classify the categories of messages to show at different levels. These different levels help users to print a correct message based on the situation. For example, when a user wants complete detailed tracking of your software, they can use debug level. Similarly, whenever a user wants very limited useful information while executing a task, they can use quiet or info level. Gradle provides the following different types of logging:
Log Level |

ERROR |

QUIET |

WARNING |

LIFECYCLE |

INFO |
This is used to show information messages |
DEBUG |
