Disabling Gradle daemon in a specific project

Question

I'd like to build certain projects without the use of of Gradle daemon. I've read that this can be done either by command-line argument --no-daemon or by changing Gradle properties under .gradle/. I need to disable it for just some of the projects I build under the root project though.

Is it possible via settings.gradle/build.gradle settings or am I better off making custom build script?

can this help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47192746/how-can-i-disable-a-task-in-build-gradle — Itamar Kerbel, Oct 22 '18 at 11:24
@zipo13 I don't want to disable the build tasks, I just want to build the project without the daemon.. but maybe there is a setting for it and it could be applied like this, however I'm struggling to find the setting in the documentation.. — Dropout, Oct 22 '18 at 11:40

You can simply add org.gradle.daemon=false to a gradle.properties file in the project root folder.

The daemon documentation mainly talks about disabling the daemon altogether on a machine but the gradle properties documentation indicates that the location where a property / value pair is declared is irrelevant, they are sourced from different location, with overwrite rules.

Should this work for a specific submodule in a multi-project build? I tried it and it doesn't. – Sridhar Sarnobat Mar 09 '22 at 23:08
