Ordering Gradle Tasks With finalizedBy and dependsOn











up vote

favorite












I have following setup:



task A {
// config for task C
}

task B {
// config for task C
}

task D {
}


Both of these tasks need to be finalized by the task C with the configuration they provided, and B must execute after A. I have adapted then to following



A.finalizedBy C
B.finalizedBy C
B.mustRunAfter A
D.dependsOn A, B


The issue I'm having with this setup is that when I run gradle D:




  • Task A is executed, configures task C

  • Task B sees that A is finished and executes. B overrides the configuration
    of C.

  • C is only executed for B and not A.


Is there a way to execute a task multiple times? I would need this ordering A -> C -> B -> C.



EDIT:



Following seems to work, but this is not the path I want to take:



task A {
// config for task C
C.execute()
}

task B {
// config for task C
C.execute()
}

    could you clarified two strange things in your question: 1) you say that when you run gradle A , Gradle executes task B : it should not.. there is nothing in your setup that should trigger execution of B when A is executed. 2) normally a task (here , C) will be executed only once, as explained in this answer discuss.gradle.org/t/… => how did you manage to make task C executed twice?

  • 1. Thank you for the hint. I forgot to mention that B must run after A. 2. I could be wrong. I thought that it's run 2 times, but as you say, it seems to be only once.

  • for 1: B.mustRunAfter A means that when both tasks A and B are executed, B must run after A (see documentation here : docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/…): again, if you execute gradle A, there is no reason that task B is executed.

  • can you describe more precisly what is task C doing? do you really need to make this job as a Gradle Task ? (maybe you can implement this job as a function/method, invoked by both tasks A and B). I don't think you will manage to make this task C executed twice in a "proper" way (without using C.execute() , which is deprecated / not recommanded

By design, Gradle will execute a given task only once during a build.



If you have to do two things, although very similar, then you need two tasks.



The concept of task rules might help you solve that issue in a generic fashion.
