== Building and Deploying

=== Versions

Most recent versions this build was successfull on:

• Gradle: 6.9
• Oracle JDK: 13
• IntelliJ IDEA 2021.1.2 Preview (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-211.7442.9, built on May 19, 2021

=== Instructions

This project has been configured to use gradle wrapper considering any future updates. All the gradle commands mentioned, can be executed using gradle wrapper.

For example - build can be done as ./gradlew build

This is a Gradle multi-module project. The *-practice projects, have tests and pieces left unimplemented so building the full project using:

gradle build

will fail.

To build the full project and skipping tests, build from the root (pivotal-certified-pro-spring-dev-exam-02) directory:

gradle build -x test

To use cached builds execute:

gradle --build-cache clean build assemble

To build the project and scan your build execute:

gradle clean build --scan

Just keep in mind, the project is quite big and when displaying the results, you browser might be slow.
