Gradle ProviderFactory.exec ExecOutput standardOutput asText orNull process start failure isIgnoreExitValue official documentation

💡 Result:

In Gradle, when using ProviderFactory.exec to execute an external process, the ExecOutput interface provides lazy access to the process output [1][2]. If the executed process finishes with a non-zero exit code, calling get() on the provider returned by standardOutput.asText will throw an exception by default [3]. This occurs because ExecOutput defaults to throwing an exception for non-zero exit values [4][5][6]. To read the standard output even when the process returns a non-zero exit code, you must explicitly configure ignoreExitValue = true within the exec action [3]: providerFactory.exec { commandLine 'your-command' ignoreExitValue = true } When ignoreExitValue is set to true, the provider returned by asText will successfully return the output content regardless of the exit status [3]. You can then check the actual execution result by accessing result.get().exitValue [3]. Regarding process start failures (e.g., the executable cannot be found or started), the Gradle documentation specifies that if starting the process results in an exception, that exception is permanently propagated to callers of Provider.get(), Provider.getOrElse(), Provider.getOrNull(), and Provider.isPresent() [1][7][8]. This means any attempt to resolve the provider will re-throw the original error that prevented the process from starting [1][8].

Citations:

Make the Git lookup conditional and handle process-start failures.

orNull resolves providers.exec before SPOO_VERSION_NAME is read, so Gradle starts git even when the override is set. isIgnoreExitValue = true handles non-zero exits only; it does not handle process-start failures. Resolve Git only when the override is absent and catch start failures so SPOO_VERSION_NAME=1.2.3 and the "0.0.0" fallback remain usable without Git.

SPOO_VERSION_NAME and providers.exec so the Git provider is evaluated only when
the override is absent, and catch process-start failures in addition to ignoring
non-zero exits. Preserve the override value and the existing "0.0.0" fallback
when Git is unavailable.

Treat blank environment overrides as absent.

Line 34 uses any defined SPOO_VERSION_NAME, including empty or whitespace-only values. Trim the value and apply takeIf { it.isNotEmpty() } before falling back to describedVersion or "0.0.0".
