Gradle Build Cache after gradle clean












1















According to Built-in cacheable tasks the gradle task "test" supports build caching. I wonder how the build cache works, if I run gradle clean between 2 gradle test executions. Since gradle clean deletes the test results (assuming these are parts of the output of gradle test in the build cache context), the cache won't work here. Is that correct?



Some background:
We've got a multi-project setup in gradle and would like to skip tests in subprojects, when there were no changes.

          The build cache does not store the task outputs in the project workspace, but in a local or remote build cache. The local build cache lives in the Gradle user home.



          So the cache will work, even if you run clean, since the outputs of the test task are stored in the build cache and are not removed from there by running clean.
