Add dependency for gradle-play-publisher's tasks from client's app script. about gradle-play-publisher

[AlexTrotsenko]

I am not proficient user of gradle, but I see, that this has to work this way.

Can you post some more lines of your build file? How do you initialize the generateReleasePlayResources property? It must be something like

def generateReleasePlayResources = project.tasks."generateReleasePlayResources"

[AlexTrotsenko]

Thank you for quick reply.

I have tried few different way of initialisation.

For example. For code, that you posted:

def generateReleasePlayResources = project.tasks."generateReleasePlayResources"
generateReleasePlayResources.dependsOn loadStoreListing

I am getting:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Could not find property 'generateReleasePlayResources' on task set.

Also, if I do something like this:

def generateReleasePlayResources = project.tasks.getByName("generateReleasePlayResources")

I am getting:

> Task with name 'generateReleasePlayResources' not found in project ':app'.

So, I have a feeling, that tasks from "play" plug-ing are not visible to my script for some reason.

But at the same time this code

gradle.taskGraph.whenReady {taskGraph ->
    def taskExists = taskGraph.hasTask(generateReleasePlayResources)
    println "generateReleasePlayResources exists: " + taskExists
}

produces
generateReleasePlayResources exists: true
So, it's actually visible somehow.

It's looks strange for me. Anyway, if you need any additional info - feel free to ask me.

Ok, can you try the following

project.afterEvaluate {
    def generateReleasePlayResources = project.tasks.getByName("generateReleasePlayResources")
    generateReleasePlayResources.dependsOn loadStoreListing
}

I think the tasks aren't initialized at the time you try to access them.

[AlexTrotsenko]

Thank you a lot for this suggestion. Now all working fine when I define dependencies this way.

Btw, previously I tried to do similar thing

gradle.taskGraph.whenReady {taskGraph ->
    def generateReleasePlayResources = project.tasks.getByName("generateReleasePlayResources")
    generateReleasePlayResources.dependsOn loadStoreListing
}

But my code was silently doing nothing.

Looks like project.afterEvaluate is called after Initialisation phase, while gradle.taskGraph.whenReady is called after Configuration phase and no changes to tasks' dependencies are really happening.

Thanks a lot, that you took care of this issue so quickly.

Also, it's definitely your responsibility, but I highly suggest adding this info somewhere to first "readme.md" page. For example, to "Configuration" section or just to the end of the page.

Pull Requests are always welcome, if you want to add such section yourself.

[AlexTrotsenko]

Sounds good, I will make it today-tomorrow.

[AlexTrotsenko]

As I promised, I have added this info to readme section (together with some more info concerning adding additional dependencies for tasks from "play" plug-in).

Here is pull request: #51
