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

iirc it should fail as soon as there is a failure, but I guess that as `--parallel` runs tasks in parallel, that it first finishes the tasks already started running.

I don't think that you can abort already running tasks

Btw. you should not usually use `clean`.
That's just a trained behavior from using Maven where it was most often necessary to get proper build results.
In Gradle you only waste time as you destroy any up-to-dateness with that and thus make one of the biggest advantages of Gradle - which is that it is pretty good in avoiding unnecessary work - void.
