Add ignore version to clean task?

Hi,

I am currently running my builds using the following to enforce the user passing a version:

if (version == ‘unspecified’){

throw new GradleException(‘Must specify a version via -Pversion=’)

}

This works on enforcing the version string however it also enforces me to pass the build a string when I run a clean task.

I need 1 of 2 things.

A, have the clean task ignore the syntax above when cleaning up a java build. B. retrieve the task that is currently being run and if it is clean silently pass it a “version=clean”

Any ideas?

If all you want is not to check the version property when the ‘clean’ task is specified on the command line, then you can simply check ‘gradle.startParameter.taskNames’.

This answers my question, thank you!
