gur <SUBCOMMAND>
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version information
SUBCOMMANDS:
chver Change the gradle wrapper version
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
set-new Watch for the new Gradle project and set the gradle version
set-new
This is made as a workaround of IDEA-177325. It watches for the creation of the file named gradle.properties
, and it creates the gradle wrapper properties using a certain gradle version at the corresponding path. In this way, once IntelliJ IDEA creates a new project, the gradle version will be set to the version you want.
Example:
gur set-new 7.3.3 path1 path2
: watch the gradle project creation under path1
and path2
recursively, and create the gradle wrapper properties for the new projects using gradle version 7.3.3
.
chver
This subcommand is to update the gradle wrapper version of the current project.
It essentially calls the ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version <version>
.
When the yolo
flag is enabled, it will first update the content of gradle-wrapper.properties
to using the new version,
then run the wrapper task. In this way, the gradle distribution of the old version won't be downloaded. But it may have potential problems.
Example: gur chver 7.3.3 --yolo
Why Rust?
You might be surprised that a Gradle utility is written in Rust instead of Java or other JVM languages. The major reason is that Gradle already requires a java instance to run. I don't want yet another java process. Instead, just keep it as light as possible.
The reason I choose Rust is that its mental model is surprisingly closed to Kotlin, the major language I used with Gradle. Many building blocks in Kotlin like data class, sealed class and nullable type have their corresponding in Rust like struct, enum and option.
