From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

Gradle Community

Are you on Windows? We have a performance problem when you have disconnected network drives.

it also slower when trying to request cache from remote cache

This shouldn’t be so. Can you maybe share a build scan? If you don’t use Gradle Enterprise, you can upload one to <http://scans.grade.com|scans.grade.com> by running with `--scan`.

Apologize, it seems issue with antivirus that slowing down our build.

I don’t think the impact would be noticeable for ephemeral CI. That said, why do you want to disable it?

I think it's causing issues on GitHub Actions runners since they are low powered machines, and I have a large project (a few hundred subprojects)

Hm. What kind of issues? File system watching shouldn’t add any significant CPU or memory overhead. With it disabled, we still track in memory the same things during the build.

What I mean is if you disable FSW that will not decrease the load during a build.

I was thinking potentially IO issues, but it looks like in this case the issue were caused by a GitHub Actions issues.

I disabled it in several of my larger projects. It didn't seem to have any effect on performance, but everything continued to work.

I have two jars having same class path. How to ignore a class file from a jar in gradle.
