Disable Gradle Daemon

Build Environment Mobile

My builds are using too much memory. When I looked at the memory usage in top I see a gradle daemon process. According to the gradle documentation it is not recommended to run a gradle daemon in a ci environment.

My question is how do I disable the daemon?

I’ve tried running:

./gradlew --stop

before my build commands. As well as adding the --no-daemon option to the commands.

Thanks,
Noah

The Gradle Daemon is enabled by default in Gradle 3.0 which was released recently. I’m not sure if this was your problem at first place.

Anyway to disable it:
In your gradle.properties file add the following line:

org.gradle.daemon=false
