Hi,
I just had some problems with the new task definition dsl.
The following script will evaluate successfully when calling 'gradle
b'. This means, that a task that is declared without "<<", will be
executed in any case.
def myVar = null
task a {
myVar = 'Task a was here'
}
task b << {
assert myVar == 'Task a was here'
}
Why has the dsl changed since Adam's last proposal (or did I miss
something?).
The DSL has not changed.
Let's rewrite the example a little bit:
def myVar = null
task a << {
myVar = 'Task a was here'
}
task b(dependsOn: a) {
assert myVar == null
}
If you execute 'gradle b' this will run without exception.
task a { <configure> }
The closure passed to task a is applied against task a at
configuration time, that is before any task action of any task is
executed. Therefore your example works.
