When using an ant.copy(from, to) it seems that Gradle is eager
evaluating it. Therefor it will throw an error message if the file I
want to copy is not yet available. This seems to be a general problem
with ant tasks. If I want to copy something from or into the libsDir,
ant will complain that the directory is not available (which is true at
evaluation time). Therefor I would have to add an mkdir(dir: libsDir)
before each of these tasks(copy, jar, etc.). Maybe I am missing something?
I don't think gradle is doing anything eager here. Are you sure that you are
using ant inside the task definition and not when configuring a task? In other
words:
task mycopy {
ant.copy // this is executed at configuration time
}
task mycopy << {
ant.copy // this is executed when the task is executed
}
Note the all important (and confusing) "<<"
If this doesn't solve your ant problem, please post a more detailed example.
