Is there a gradle command equivalent to ant uptodate task?

I tried using ant command inside gradle but it is not working as expected. Don’t know what is wrong below

task abc << {

boolean works

ant.uptodate(property: “works”, srcfile: “$rootDir/target/1.txt”, targetfile: “$rootDir/target/dum/1.txt”)

println works }

Ant properties aren’t variables.

You need to get the value a different way.

task abc << {
   ant.uptodate(property: "works", srcfile: "$rootDir/target/1.txt", targetfile: "$rootDir/target/dum/1.txt")
   println ant.properties.works
}

Thanks. It works now in task abc. But If I use the ant.uptodate inside a custom task, ant.properties.works prints null instead of true.

String rootDir = project.rootDir.getPath() @TaskAction def abc(){

ant.uptodate(property: “works”, srcfile: “$rootDir/target/1.txt”, targetfile: “$rootDir/target/dum/1.txt”)

println ant.properties.works

}

Worked for me using ‘ant.antProject.properties.works’

println ant.antProject.properties.works
