I’m having a seemingly simple problem importing an Ant build script. I’ve boiled it down to the following. Could someone please help - is this not supported, or what am I missing?
The simple Ant script:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1250"?>
<project name="AGradleSandbox" default="check">
<property name="var2" location="${var1}/some_path"/>
<echo>Echo from Ant...</echo>
<target name="check">
<echo>Ant var1=${var1}</echo>
<echo>Ant var2=${var2}</echo>
<if>
<equals arg1="${var1}" arg2="somevalue"/>
<then>
<echo>The values are equal!</echo>
</then>
</if>
</target>
</project>
The Gradle script:
ant.var1=
"somevalue"
ant.importBuild 'build.xml'
check.dependsOn('configure')
task configure {
doFirst {
println "ant.var1=${ant.var1}"
println "ant.var2=${ant.var2}"
}
}
When I run the Gradle script, I get the mysterious error:
Problem: failed to create task or type if Cause: The name is undefined. Action: Check the spelling. Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared. Action: Check that any / declarations have taken place.
Could not execute build using Gradle distribution ‘http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-bin.zip’.
