## Gradle runtimes

Gradle is also made up of several different processes that work together to "run the build", such as the Gradle daemon and the `gradlew` command.

Each process, or "runtime", applies different constraints to the code that runs in that process.
For example, each process has different supported JVMs and a different set of services available for dependency injection.

    - name: Cleanup Gradle Daemons
      run: ./gradlew --stop
      if: ${{ matrix.language == 'java' }}

    # ℹ️ Command-line programs to run using the OS shell.

    # ✏️ If the Autobuild fails above, remove it and uncomment the following three lines

- Gradle daemon. This is the process that actually runs the build. It hosts build logic and coordinates the lifecycle of the build. It is a long-running daemon process.
- CLI client. This is the `gradle` or `gradlew` command, and is responsible for locating, starting and interacting with the Gradle daemon, potentially downloading the Gradle distribution. 

This may help you better understand and contribute to Gradle.

### Debugging Gradle

You can debug Gradle by adding `-Dorg.gradle.debug=true` to the command-line. Gradle will wait for you to attach a debugger at `localhost:5005` by default.

If you made changes to build logic in the `build-logic` included build, you can run its tests by executing `./gradlew :build-logic:check`.
