[question] how to see the details of error

[rr-nick-tan]

hi @aalmiray

thanks for the gradle plugin, i come from maven enforcer plugin which is used in most of our projects.

i have the project enforcer setup with BanDuplicateClasses rule

    enforce {
        rule(enforcer.rules.BanDuplicateClasses)
    }

the build failed but without any detail, i don't know which classes are duplicate.

$ ./gradlew build
Type-safe dependency accessors is an incubating feature.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':demo-service'.

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

See https://docs.gradle.org/7.4/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

When a rule fails there should be a print out explaining the failure. All rules behave like that. Do you have a reproducible project where this behavior can be observed?

unfortunately i can't share the project, could you share the tips of diagnosing? thx

[aalmiray]

Can you reproduce with a smaller self-contained project?

HI @aalmiray! Thanks for the plugin.

I faced the same issue, though. Here is a project to reproduce: https://github.com/estroykov/enforcer-gradle-plugin-rule-is-not-specified-in-output

[aalmiray]

@estroykov thank you for the link to the repository. However, its configuration does not match the reported issue and thus can't reproduce what @rr-nick-tan encountered.

[estroykov]

@aalmiray Do you mean I use other rule in my example? Ok, anyway, is there any way to have a name (or custom message) of a failed rule in my case?

[aalmiray]

I believe every rule exposes a message property you may use to set a custom message. https://kordamp.org/enforcer-gradle-plugin/#_rules

[estroykov]

@aalmiray I did use message property (see link above) but it didn't affect output.
