Hi,
I would like to add a task that has a configuration dependency on all of its
declaring project's subprojects. Is this possible?
The reason I'm asking: I'm browsing through the user guide to find ways to
improve my build scripts. One thing that I thought would be nice to improve
upon is the way that archives are built. Right now, my root project contains
the following:
dependsOnChildren()
task('dists') << {
ant {
zip(destfile: ...) {
subprojects.each {project ->
subproject.configurations.distribution.resolve().each
{dependency ->
zipfileset(prefix: 'lib', file: dependency)
}
}
}
}
}
I'd like to change this to
task distribution(type: Zip, dependsOn: subprojects*.dists) {
// same subproject.each {...}
}
but I may not call the resolve() method. I think that I am allowed to use it
after all subprojects have been configured - is that correct? And if it is,
how do I declare that I would like to add the task at that point? I've been
looking at project evaluation listeners, which felt like they solved a
related but different use case, and a build listener, which I couldn't get
to work.
Thanks in advance,
Levi
