How to get the running task stack instance?

Help/Discuss

For example:
uploadArchives dependsOn war
war dependsOn classes
classes dependsOn compileJava

so how do I find out how compileJava is triggered on runtime?

is compileJava is triggered by

  1. user running “gradle uploadArchives”
  2. user running “gradle war”
  3. user running “gradle classes”

thank you!

To your question. compileJava is a task dependency all all the tasks you list: 1)-3)
