While working with the Native plugins, I’m searching for ways to copy the output of a native task, but can’t seem to get it working. It looks as if the native tasks are created too late. Assume we have native (cpp) component ‘x’. There will be a lifecycle task ‘xStaticLibrary’. I would expect I can…

[image] Anne_Stellingwerf: It looks as if the native tasks are created too late. This is correct. In general, you have to get at these tasks through the binaries container. You could do something like this: binaries.withType(StaticLibraryBinarySpec) { task "${name}Zip"(type: Zip) { …

Ah cool, that should work. In my case, I want to put multiple binaries in one zip, but then it’s look like this, right? task 'zipAllNativeSOs'(type:Zip) binaries.withType(StaticLibraryBinarySpec) { // Attach them all task 'zipAllNativeSOs' << { from staticLibraryFile depends…

The left-shift operator (<<) is an alias to doLast which isn’t what you want. You’ll just want something like this: task 'zipAllNativeSOs'(type:Zip) { binaries.withType(StaticLibraryBinarySpec) { // Attach them all from staticLibraryFile dependsOn tasks } }

Thanks @mark_vieira , this did indeed work, back when you posted it (on Gradle 2.6). However, when running the same code on 2.10, it fails during configuration: Could not find property 'binaries' on task ':acllib:nativeZip'. From release notes, I can’t figure out what I should change to get it bac…

Yes the syntax has changed in recent versions. You’ll have to do something like this: model { tasks { zipAllNativeSOs(Zip) { $.binaries.withType(StaticLibraryBinarySpec).each { // Attach them all from it.staticLibraryFile depen…

That results in a compilation error: Invalid variable name. Must include a letter but only found: $

That sounds like either the code block is not inside a model { } block or you are not using Gradle 2.10.

I am using Gradle 2.10 and it is in a model block, but it’s not the same model block as where I define the native components. Would that pose a problem?

My build script is over 2100 lines long. I posted fragments of it on this Gist , but can’t show the entire file (as it’s IP of my employer). I’m afraid you won’t be able to run it…

It should not. Can you share your build script? Perhaps there is something else going on.
