Hi 👋, I have a kotlin project which has 2 dependencies which have a couple of same gradle tasks. Therefore I end up in

A problem occurred configuring project ':shared'.
> Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
   > Cannot add task 'xxx' as a task with that name already exists.

Can you please tell me how to explicitly exclude/disable a task for a dependency?

hmm, not really sure, if I understood your challenge (as for me a dependency is something inside dependencies { implementation("group:artifact:0.5.1") }. but generally, one way to define a new/non-existing task in a build.gradle.kts of a (sub)project via:

val myNewTask = tasks.register("myNewTask") { ... }

and if that task already exists (e.g. a plugin created it or a allprojects { ... } / subprojects { } clause in your rootProject, then you can "add" something to the task with

val myNewTask by tasks.existing { ... }

or

tasks {
    val myNewTask by existing {
        println("evaluating HERE")
        doLast {
            println("execution HERE")
        }
    }
}

so no need for disabling ... just use

val myNewTask by existing

(or did I misunderstand where your "dependencies" come from which do define/`register` task 'xxx' ??)

more of a Gradle question than anything Kotlin-related — you'd have the same issue with duplicate task registrations in any project. see the channel description in #gradle for a link to the Gradle community Slack, or use their other online resources
