How to stop non-blocking mock service when using the Gradle daemon?

[rkrisztian]

Hi,

I use the Gradle daemon, and I start a mock service like this:

soapmock {
	noBlock = true
}

How can I stop it once the SoapUI tests are finished?

Hint: There should be a Gradle task that has a way to access the runner...

Edit: I just realized these services seem to stop themselves somehow before restarting them, so there are no port conflicts... Or correct, me if I'm wrong...

Anyway, I think there is a more serious issue: I would keep the service running as long as I want, regardless of the build or the daemon stopping in the meantime, which can happen: "Every Daemon monitors its memory usage compared to total system memory and will stop itself if idle when available system memory is low." (source) So something like combining the execution of the task with the spawn plugin would help more for me, which I can do if I configure the command to execute to be gradle (or gradlew) with the daemon disabled. => OK
