Saydle 🔊 - "Say Gradle"

Saydle is a Wrapper for the Gradle Wrapper that notifies you via the OSX say command whether a task failed or succeeded.

Why?

Knowing when a Gradle build is done is super helpful when there are long running tasks. This allows you to be notified instead of checking the terminal.

System Requirements

• You must be Running Mac OSX

Installation Instructions

Run the following command from the terminal in the root of your Android Project (where the gradlew file is)

curl -O "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/handstandsam/saydle/main/saydlew" && chmod +x saydlew

This will download the saydlew file and put it next to your gradlew file in the root of your Gradle project. It then ensures there is permission to execute the file.

Usage

• Instead of using ./gradlew, use ./saydlew instead. That's it!
• Example: ./saydlew app:assembleDebug

Advanced Configuration Options

You can edit these options in the saydlew file itself.

• success_phrase="Success"
• failed_phrase="Failed"
• voice="Alex"

How Does Saydle 🔊 Work?

Saydle 🔊 forwards your command to Gradle, and then looks at the execution result to say either "Success" or "Failed".
