[SOLVED] Why Gradle daemon is disabled in Git repository?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I'd like to speed up my code contribution workflow.

I'm using IntelliJ with Gradle integration. I trigger Gradle "run --jvm-debug" task from IntelliJ as a Gradle run configuration and I use IntelliJ default test runner to run tests.

Why Gradle daemon is disabled and is there a more efficient way than mine to use IntelliJ & Gradle with Elasticsearch code base?

Thanks,
Chris

We disable the gradle daemon by default due to issues we have had with it in the past causing hard to debug failures due to outdated classloaders interacting with forbidden apis. However, you can assume the risk of running it and override our default in our own ~/.gradle/gradle.properties.

Thank you Ryan, I'll give it a try.
