Gradle Datalyzer

Gradle Datalyzer is a tool for gathering an overview of a Gradle project.

Datalyzer is only intended to be used by JetBrains research participants.

Usage

Quickstart

Linux/Mac

# cd into the project directory to analyze
cd /path/to/gradle-project/

# download and unzip the latest datalyzer release
curl -LO https://github.com/adam-enko/gradle-datalyzer/releases/latest/download/datalyzer.zip
unzip datalyzer.zip

# run datalyzer
./datalyzer/bin/datalyzer

# After datalyzer has finished, please share the zip file in ./datalyzer-reports/

Instructions

Important

Datalyzer must be run with the same Java version used to run Gradle, otherwise the project's build scripts might not be run correctly.

The easiest way to do this is to run Datalyzer in the same directory as the Gradle project being analyzed.

1. Download the latest datalyzer.zip from the GitHub releases page.

2. Unzip Datalyzer into the project directory to be analyzed.

3. Run Datalyzer:

   Linux/Mac

   ./datalyzer/bin/datalyzer

   Windows

   .\datalyzer\bin\datalyzer.bat

4. Wait for the report to finish.

5. Share the zipped report.
