Profiling & Debugging Builds
Use Gradle's built-in profiling tools and techniques to identify performance bottlenecks.
What is Build Profiling?
When your Gradle builds start taking too long, it can really slow down your development. Build profiling is like taking your build's vital signs to see what's consuming all that time.
- It helps you pinpoint which tasks are the slowest.
- It reveals hidden bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
- The ultimate goal is to get faster feedback and boost developer productivity.
Think of profiling as a powerful diagnostic tool for your build process.
Introducing Gradle Build Scans
Gradle Build Scans are interactive web reports that offer deep, visual insights into your build's execution. They are incredibly useful for understanding and sharing build behavior.
- See a detailed timeline of all tasks.
- Understand dependency resolution and network activity.
- Identify why tasks are not up-to-date or not using the build cache.
- Easily share the report via a URL with teammates or for support.
It's a comprehensive overview of how your build actually runs.
