Naive question why I can't run my task in plugin?

Task code:

package com.*.ta.sonarutils.tasks.java
  import org.gradle.api.DefaultTask
import org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskAction
  /**
 * Created by IntelliJ IDEA.
 * Date: 17.12.12
 * Time: 13:47
 */
class APMSonarPluginFacade extends DefaultTask {
   @TaskAction
  def void run() {
    project.sonar {
      database {
        url = project.database.url
      }
      branch = { project.sonarutils.branch }
      server.url = { project.sonarutils.serverUrl }
    }
    debug
    project.sonar.project {
      name = project.sonarutils.name
    }
  //
super.analyze()
    }

in plugin code:

project.task("APMSonarAnalysis", type: APMSonarPluginFacade, group: 'Sonar', description:
'Run SonarAnalysis preconfigured for APM NG' )

I get error:

15:58:18.374 [main] INFO
o.g.a.i.t.e.SkipTaskWithNoActionsExecuter - Skipping task ':APMSonarAnalyze' as it has no actions.

Moreover how to properly create a task which runs another task but customized like SonarAnalize? gradle 1.3

What is the purpose of your APMSonarPluginFacade task? It looks like you try to configure the sonartask plugin here?

When I run your code above the build failes with the following error:

Could not find method sonar() for arguments

With the sonar plugin applied you snippet causes the following error:

Could not find property 'database'

Maybe a better approach to customize the build-in Sonar plugin is to configure different instances of the SonarAnalyze in your plugin.

Thank you Rene for answer, partially yes I’m trying to prepare a plugin which will be on one hand facade for sonar plugin and hide complexity of it’s configuration, and from the other hand run different other tools like jstestdriver from within, I need to serve 4 languages java, javascript, c#, cpp, project contains many subprojects some of them contain 2 from 4 aforementioned languages. Moreover copy a few files, change other (configs). For javascript I will use standalone sonar-runner because I couldn’t make sonar - plugin work properly with code coverage data for javascript. I have one more

idea why it fails maybe proper set of working directory would help or maybe not. In the end it works smoothly with sonar-runner. One goal of my custom plugin is prepare DSL with one main closure containing sections for all languages.

“Maybe a better approach to customize the build-in Sonar plugin is to configure different instances of the SonarAnalyze in your plugin.” - could you write more about it? how to achieve it programatically? normally I would use task name1(type: SonarAnalyze), task name2(type: SonarAnalyze) and so on… am I right?
