How to execute a task before executing or building the subprojects in gradle?
I have a multi-project build with the following build.gradle in the root project
apply plugin: 'com.google.protobuf'
allprojects {
}
subprojects {
}
protobuf {
protoc {
// Download from repositories
artifact = 'com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.10.0'
}
plugins {
grpc {
artifact = 'io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-java:1.23.0'
}
}
generateProtoTasks {
ofSourceSet('main')*.plugins {
grpc {}
}
}
}
I want the protobuf tasks to be executed first before compiling any of the subprojects because my subprojects depends on the generated java files from protobuf task. so how can I achieve this? I don’t want to have the protobuf task in each subproject instead I just want to do it at once at the root project but before compiling the subprojects.
