ant.project.executeTarget ( 'target' ) -Clark. From: Wright, Clark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 23, 2011 2:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [gradle-user] Multi-project legacy app, Ant and moving to Gradle 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?
