Measure-build-times Gradle Plugin

Gradle Plugin for reporting build time results into internal Automattic systems.

Setup

Directly in project

Configure plugin in build.gradle file:

// settings.gradle
plugins {
    id "com.gradle.enterprise" version "latest_version" // optional
}

// build.gradle
plugins {
    id "io.github.wzieba.tracks.plugin" version "latest_tag"
}

tracks {
    automatticProject.set(io.github.wzieba.tracks.plugin.TracksExtension.AutomatticProject.WooCommerce)
    attachGradleScanId.set(true)
    // `false`, if no Enterprise plugin applied OR don't want to attach build scan id 
}

Configuration

Property	Required?	Description
automatticProject	yes	Project that will determine event name
attachGradleScanId	yes	Upload metrics after build scan is published, with build scan id attached. If false, metrics will be uploaded upon build finish, without build scan id attached
enabled	no	Enable plugin (def: false)
obfuscateUsername	no	Obfuscate system username with SHA-1 (def: false)

Result

After each build you should see

✅ Build time report of 4m 8s has been received by Apps Metrics.

which confirms received report.

Discrepancies between Gradle reports and this plugin

This plugin might report different data to what Gradle logs at the end of a build.

Number of tasks

The reason is that Gradle log filters out lifecycle tasks, while this plugin, cannot do this as it uses configuration-cache compatible OperationCompletionListener.

Build time

This plugin uses BuildStartedTime internal service to determine start of the build, the same as Gradle. The end of the build though is defined by FlowAction and might be slightly different than what Gradle uses. The discrepancy is minor, close to irrelevant.
