I have a fairly large (12) multi-project build that we want to migrate
from a Perl and Ant build system to Gradle (as part of a larger redesign
effort).
Part of what we need to do is script the execution of the existing ANT
targets until we replace them fully with Gradle.
What I haven't been able to figure out is how to invoke a given ANT
target from the execution phase of a Gradle Task.
Given a build.xml with:
<target name="gradleTest">
<echo> Test common</echo>
</target>
And a build.gradle that looks like:
ant.importBuild ('build.xml')
task foo << {
gradleTest
println ('test gradle common')
}
I would expect to that 'gradle foo' would produce something like:
:foo
[ant:echo] Test common
test gradle common
However, what I get is:
:foo
test gradle common
What am I missing?
Tried to use dependsOn, but that just results in:
Could not compile build file
'/usr/local/litle-home/cwright/cvs/common/common.gradle'.
Cause: startup failed:
build file '/usr/local/litle-home/cwright/cvs/common/common.gradle': 3:
unexpected token: gradleTest @ line 3, column 21.
task foo (dependsOn gradleTest) << {
^
Hints, suggestions, pointers to the right manual?
Thanks,
