14:32:16dob1_I don't know who are gradle devs but really every version update is a nightmare... imho it is like tr*sh, it has to be a tool to help developers not to complicated their life!!! and even with AI it is difficult to upgrade a build.grdle
14:33:07* Everything left #java
14:33:09dob1_and you cannot skip a versione because if you update your java version if you have to update gradle too
14:36:40dob1_I don't understand what they do moving something somewhere else with a different name and with a different context. What they will archive with modifications like this one ?
14:37:24dob1_(sorry for the rant)

15:18:04dreamrealdob1_: this is why I don't use gradle any more in my own projects
15:18:29dreamrealthe devs have a policy of progress, period, so if they think something's good, there it is, compatibility be damned, that's what version locking is for
15:18:37dreamrealgradlew is your friend
15:19:41dreamrealand all this is known, none of it's hidden or private, it's public knowledge
15:20:29dreamrealgradle's really good until it's not, welcome to adulthood, I guess, I dunno
15:21:04* rvalue joined #java
15:24:09ZapekI thought they improved lately. haven't had any big breaks for years
15:26:43dob1_for me it seems like some gradle devs wakeup in the morning and says "what if we remove this or add this one"
15:27:50dob1_maybe there are some secret plans that you have to read all the manual every time to understand them, but it doesn't seems that they changes will improve the tool in a very useful way... they are just changes
15:31:28dreamrealI think they're conceptual changes, I mean, they HAVE a sort of vision and they're moving toward it, but it's not a written spec to comply with, it's "let's make this the best tool we can think of"
15:31:34dreamrealand they keep thinking of slightly different things
15:34:25dob1_it's like an "abuse" of semantic versioning
15:34:33ParaTheir vision's biggest issue is that they're vision is to be all the things, while normally vision should focus onto being one very specific thing.
15:35:04dreamrealPara: ++
15:35:04nevetPara now has karma of 3.
15:35:35dreamrealdob1_: Well, semantic versioning IS only a suggestion... and if they obeyed it, we'd be on gradle 58 now! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!?!?!?!
15:36:24dob1_no :)
15:37:21* leppard joined #java
15:38:01dob1_you said there is a vision well I don't know because I think that people who started and worked on the projectd changed in the years, so they are supporting a vision that has change though the years
15:38:23dreamrealTeh current developers' vision is not the same as the originators', necessarily
15:38:29dreamrealthat's how project handovers work
15:42:59dob1_for java it is like one tool that you can use, even if it is very popular, but for android I know it is mandatory. And they are not affected by all these changes every version?
15:43:24dreamrealgradlew is your friend, I think I mentioned that already, it's almost like I meant it
15:43:38dob1_I use the wrapper
15:43:46dreamrealit is your friend and defender
15:43:51dreamrealavoid it at your peril
15:44:26dob1_it's not, if you want to upgrade your java version you must update gradle too
15:45:07dreamrealfoojay is no help?
15:45:58dob1_I didn't know this site
15:46:19dreamrealit's a gradle plugin
15:48:50dob1_I read about it and imhook the main problem is still there, when you run a gradle task with a new gradle/java version it gives you a lot of errors.
15:49:18dreamrealbummer. I leave our gradle build to someone else, and we don't build for android
15:51:42dob1_me too, I don't build for android. It was a consideration
15:52:16dreamrealI'm just glad I can pawn it off: we have an incredible build system, it's truly awesome, I'd never be able to build it the way we do
