there is a

ignoreExitValue

property on

Exec

and

JavaExec

tasks (such as

run

). but I think it won't be passed on to the caller

Thanks, I tried both suggestions. Adding the following lines to my gradle.build.kts did not change the error output:

tasks.withType<Exec>().forEach {
    it.isIgnoreExitValue = true
}

Adjusting the launcher script did the trick:

# shellcheck disable=SC2086
# shellcheck disable=SC2048
./gradlew :myscrip:install -q && ./build/install/myscript/bin/myscript $*

Looking at these options, I think the launcher script adjustment makes a lot of sense. Just for reference, did I make a mistake in the gradle.build.kts adjustment?

tasks.run {
    isIgnoreExitValue = true
}

1.

run

is

JavaExec

, not

Exec

2. use

configureEach

to maintain lazy configuration… but better yet, only configure the specific task but the script approach is probably better for you anyway, because Gradle will still exit with success when the process exits with failure with

ignoreExitValue

, so the caller won't see it
