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

Gradle Community

<https://discuss.gradle.org/t/how-do-you-attach-a-debugger-to-gradle-so-that-i-can-debug-it-running-a-task/7526> believe this answers your q. you can move the port where you want

I was under the impression that the debugger port is different than the daemon port

no worries, I had came across the same thing too yesterday when searching :laughing:

I believe this is where the port for the gradle daemon is set: <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/0bd581a28013a7df9a9f7f8fe8230638aad812b1/subprojects/messaging/src/main/java/org/gradle/internal/remote/internal/inet/TcpIncomingConnector.java#L59|https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/0bd581a28013a7df9a9f7f8fe8230638aad812b1/sub[…]/gradle/internal/remote/internal/inet/TcpIncomingConnector.java>

and setting `0` will pick a random available port

that code above is entered from here, <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/0bd581a28013a7df9a9f7f8fe8230638aad812b1/subprojects/launcher/src/main/java/org/gradle/launcher/daemon/server/DaemonTcpServerConnector.java#L51|https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/0bd581a28013a7df9a9f7f8fe8230638aad812b1/sub[…]org/gradle/launcher/daemon/server/DaemonTcpServerConnector.java>

```/**
 * Opens a TCP connection for clients to connect to communicate with a daemon.
 */```

oddly, I can't find any documentation or tutorials online of people setting up the IntelliJ Gradle Plugin to work over SSH. There is only a brief mention of it on this page: <https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/run-targets.html#supported-rcs>

that does surprise me. perhaps try extending the issue to android studio? it may have similar overlap on the issue

i feel like most people build locally then remotely debug, not both of those things

I did see more discussion online when it came to using the gradle debugger remotely -- barely anything for building remotely
