Extending the Gradle Daemon idle timeout


I'm using gradle and intellij to build my android project. I've noticed that after one minute the daemon process shut down and I can see in the daemon-11188.out.log that the idle timeout is set to 60000 (idleTimeout=60000).

Here is the line from the log:

15:51:46.747 [INFO] [org.gradle.launcher.daemon.server.Daemon] start() called on daemon - DefaultDaemonContext[uid=1be5dcbe-d445-4cf6-87d8-03e443368b0c,javaHome=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45,daemonRegistryDir=C:\Users\ry_000\.gradle\daemon,pid=11624,idleTimeout=60000,daemonOpts=-Dfile.encoding=windows-1252]

I tried everything but couldn't find a way to override this setting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.


Solution

  • Well, it turned out that IntelliJ uses the gradle api to set 1 minute for the idle timeout. I fixed that by compiling the gradle launcher with constant value of 3 hours. You can get the file here: gradle-launcher-1.9.jar
