FAQPage Schema
How do I optimize a slow Gradle multi-project build?▼

To optimize a slow Gradle build, you can refactor scripts using official best practices like enabling the build cache and configuration cache. This improves maintainability, performance, and security across multi-project structures.

What is the best way to manage Gradle dependencies across multiple modules?▼

The best way to manage Gradle dependencies is by modernizing builds to use version catalogs. This centralizes dependency versions and improves maintainability across complex multi-project setups.

How do I migrate a Gradle build to use convention plugins?▼

Migrating to convention plugins involves refactoring build logic into buildSrc or build-logic modules. This modernization applies focused fixes to standardize configurations and improve build cacheability.

Can I audit my build.gradle file for security and performance issues?▼

Yes, you can audit build.gradle files to identify issues in structure, dependencies, custom tasks, performance, and security. This ensures upgrade hygiene and applies focused fixes for better maintainability.

Does Gradle configuration cache work with custom tasks?▼

Gradle configuration cache works with custom tasks when build logic is properly refactored for cacheability. Reviewing and modernizing task implementations ensures they align with official best practices for optimal performance.
