[gradle-user] Re: "Cascading" tasks

[Thor Kummer]

Thanks Does that mean the you have to be in the directory of the 'b-one-crm:babel' project and run the 'jar' task from there (with out the path prefix). Out of inteterest, it would seem like an uncessessary limitation and detract a bit from the otherwise powerful gradle command-line: E.g. instead of   gradle a:b:c:jar d:e:deploy you need   cd a/b/c   gradle jar   cd ../../../d/e   gradle deploy which is a somewhat more verbose and and a bit disorienting (since you end up in a different directory). Also there might not be any directory to go to if the hierarchie is built up in the settings file as it actually is in my case, where there is no 'babel' directory. include\     ...     'b-one-crm:babel:ejb-api',     'b-one-crm:babel:persistence',     'b-one-crm:babel:ejb-impl',     'b-one-crm:babel:war',     ... ... project(':b-one-crm:babel:ejb-api').projectDir = "$settingsDir/b-one-crm/babel-ejb-api" as File project(':b-one-crm:babel:persistence').projectDir = "$settingsDir/b-one-crm/babel-persistence" as File project(':b-one-crm:babel:ejb-impl').projectDir ="$settingsDir/b-one-crm/babel-ejb-impl" as File project(':b-one-crm:babel:war').projectDir = "$settingsDir/b-one-crm/babel-war" as File ... But maybe I haven't misunderstood you incorrectly..:-) For the time being i'm resorting to injecting an empty 'jar' task and 'dependsOnChildren()' in to the 'babel' project to get this working.
