Hi,
Some quick questions on terminology:
In some places we refer to the 'build script', and other places we refer
to the 'build file'. Which one should we use? I don't have a real
preference, other than we use the same term consistently to refer to
this. I suspect we use 'build file' more often than 'build script' in
documentation, so perhaps 'file' is a reasonable choice.
Similarly, is it a 'settings file' or 'settings script'?
I've added some new events to BuildListener, to represent the main steps
of initialising, configuring and executing the build. These are:
settingsEvaluated()
projectsEvaluated()
taskGraphPrepared()
I'm not happy with the name taskGraphPrepared(). I've just realised that
I use the terms 'prepare', 'populate' and 'calculate' to refer to this
step. Is 'evaluate' is a better term to use for this step, ie
taskGraphEvaluated()?
Finally, on Settings, we have a bunch of methods with 'descriptor' in
their name. I think 'project' might be a better term here, as 'project'
is the meaning of the thing being referenced, whereas 'descriptor' is
how they are represented. I think this reads better in the settings file:
project('myproject').buildFileName = 'myproject.gradle'
instead of
descriptor('myproject').buildFileName = 'myproject.gradle'
