I have an external tool that run’s via a Gradle task I added called getlib that retrieves dependencies to a local lib directory. How can I make sure it runs before the dependencies (see below) are used on the compile classpath (see below)?
task getlib(description:‘Run the getlib command file’) << {
String[] getlibCMD = [‘cmd’, ‘/c’, “cd ${projectDir}&&getlib.cmd”];
runCommand(getlibCMD) } dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: ‘lib/compile’, include: ‘*.jar’)
} Thanks in advance, Jim
The cleanest solution is to declare the outputs of the ‘getlib’ task:
task getlib(...) {
outputs.files fileTree(dir: 'lib/compile', include: '*.jar')
doLast {
// run command
}
}
Then you can write:
dependencies {
compile getlib.outputs
}
And (task) autowiring will do the rest.
Hi Peter, To get past the error below: … > Cannot convert the provided notation to an object of type Dependency: org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultTaskOutputs@239b0124.
The following types/formats are supported:
Instances of Dependency.
Strings/CharSequences, e.g. ‘org.gradle:gradle-core:1.0’.
Maps, e.g. [group: ‘org.gradle’, name: ‘gradle-core’, version: ‘1.0’].
FileCollections, e.g. files(‘some.jar’, ‘someOther.jar’).
Projects, e.g. project(’:some:project:path’).
ClassPathNotation, e.g. gradleApi(). … I had to change the closure for dependencies to: dependencies {
compile getlib.outputs.files }
Now when I run a build I get the error below. Is there synchronization I need to add? Regards, Jim

Seems like you left the << in that’s not present in my code.
Good catch! Thanks Peter it’s now working! Jim
