Gradle Bash Completion

gradle-completion

Basic bash completion for gradle. Task suggestions for your command line.

Installation

Either

1. Copy the file gradle_tab_completion.sh to your bash_completion directory, e.g. /etc/bash_completion.d,

2. Or copy the file gradle_tab_completion.sh to some location, e.g. ~/.gradle-completion and add the following line to your .bashrc/.profile: source ~/.gradle-completion.

See Makefile for details.

Notes

Verbosity

The autocompletion gets populated by calling the task tasks --all. Because that usually takes a long time, the completion is cached until one of the gradle files changes.

Cache / Storage

The completion is populated on the first call of gradle / gradlew and will be cached in .gradle-tab local to your current project/directory.

Aliases

You can add gradle / gradlew aliases by adding the following line to your .bashrc / .profile: complete -F _gradle my_alias.

The script will use gradlew in the current directory or gradle if the gradle wrapper cannot be found.
