How do you log all the compiler options being used by Gradle?

Question

I'm using Gradle 7.4.2. I'm trying to see what it uses for generatedSourceOutputDirectory (among other CompileOptions .

I've tried:

tasks.compileJava {
    println(options.generatedSourceOutputDirectory.toString())
}

but this prints an unhelpful:

task ':lib:compileJava' property 'options.generatedSourceOutputDirectory'

Sleuthing around the code itself on Github, I see that's its defaults are (seemingly) mangaged via XML code here .

How can I see what the current compile options are?

Answer 1

The option generatedSourceOutputDirectory is of type DirectoryProperty ; therefore, to get the value that it holds, you need to call get() .
