Concurrent Modification Exception during 'gradle tasks'

This problem appears in Gradle 1.0 milestone 6. It appears to come from the Cobertura plugin. I’ve made an effort to identify the origin of the problem, but my build is pretty big and I’m new to Gradle.

========== From my console: ===========

  • What went wrong: Execution failed for task ‘:tasks’. Cause: java.util.ConcurrentModificationException (no error message)

  • Try: Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

  • Exception is: org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ‘:tasks’.

If I comment out the following lines then ‘gradle tasks’ works again:

buildscript {

apply from: “${githubBase}/gradle_cobertura/gradle_cobertura/1.0-rc4/coberturainit.gradle”

}

coberturaReportPath = file("$reportsDir/cobertura/coverage.xml")

I’m not sure how those lines are breaking my build.

I got a similar exception when trying to upgrade from milestone-3 to a milestone-7 snapshot. I’m also using the cobertura plugin and will try and see if that is the culprit for me aswell. (i did manage to build my projects but the tasks task bugs out).

I’ve raised an issue in our tracker for this. We’ll hopefully get to it soon.

Thanks for putting in the diagnostic work.

Hi guys,

I have attached a simple build script that reproduces this issue in GRADLE-2023. In my build, this problem surfaced when I added task dependencies configured via a closure that triggers a task rule. In case there is only one such dynamic dependency there is no problem - probably because the according task is resolved at the end of the iteration and the concurrent modification exception goes undetected by the iterator. Also, I observed this issue only when the dynamic tasks are created on a subproject, but not when created on the root project. Here is a sample script that should reproduce the problem - it must be called on a subproject of the root project:

Rule rule = [
    getDescription: { "Rule that creates 'dynamicTask' task." },
    apply: { String taskName ->
        if (taskName.startsWith('dynamicTask')) {
            project.tasks.add(taskName)
        }
    },
      toString: { getDescription() }
] as Rule
  project.tasks.addRule rule
  project.tasks.add('someTask') {
    dependsOn { project.tasks.findByName('dynamicTask1') }
}
  project.tasks.add('anotherTask') {
    dependsOn { project.tasks.findByName('dynamicTask2') }
}

Regards,

Detelin

I have hit this issue creating dynamic tasks in a plugin. The dynamic tasks have dependencies on existing java tasks. The plugin is applied to certain sub-tasks. Interesting is that running ‘gradle tasks’ fails in the parent project but works in the sub-task where the plugin is applied. Its also a bit random. There is obviously some sequence of events that causes it work sometimes but most times it fails. I don’t use the CoberturaPlugin explicitly anywhere

i’ve isolated the line that causes the java.util.ConcurrentModificationException: project.getAt(PLUGIN_EXTENSION_NAME).wsdlDescriptors.each { k,v ->

// lots of other code …

project.tasks.add(name: “wsdl2Java${k.capitalize()}”,type: JavaExec) {

description=“Generates Java source for wsdl:${k}=${v.file}”

outputs.upToDateSpec = new org.gradle.api.specs.AndSpec()

outputs.files generatedWsdlDir

inputs.files project.configurations.compile, wsdlFile

main = mc

classpath = cp

args = ag

}

project.clean.dependsOn “cleanWsdl2Java${k.capitalize()}” //This is the line that causes the java.util.ConcurrentModificationException

project.“compile${wsdlSrcSetName.capitalize()}Java”.dependsOn “wsdl2Java${k.capitalize()}”

// This line works } project.compileJava.dependsOn project."${wsdlSrcSetName}Classes"

//This line works …

I’ve resolved my error by creating a single cleanWsdl task and creating the clean.dependsOn cleanWsdl. The dynamic patter clean would have all executed the same thing so were redundant when I had more than 1 wsdl anyway. If I had designed it differently with a sourceSet for each wsdl then maybe it would have still occurred but that would be overkill for my purposes.

This happens on milestone-9 build. I cannot say what the rootcause, but figured out the case this error happens with gradle cobertura plugin. Maybe gradle gurus can shed some light.

Please Refer: https://github.com/valkolovos/gradle_cobertura/issues/18

I just posted a small patch to GRADLE-2023 that seems to fix it for me. I’m not very familiar with the Gradle code base so it’s probably not the greatest ‘fix’.
