I'm developing a Gradle Plugin that needs to read ...

# kapt

I'm developing a Gradle Plugin that needs to read an output generated by an annotation processor with kapt. For that reason I'm depending on kapt task and all of that works fine. But now I want to test it because I want to also support the Android flavours and without tests that's a mess.

When I run:

val project = ProjectBuilder.builder()
    .build()

project.pluginManager.apply(KotlinPluginWrapper::class.java)
project.pluginManager.apply(Kapt3GradleSubplugin::class.java)
project.pluginManager.apply(LightsaberPlugin::class.java)

I can see the tasks generated by kotlin and my plugin but I can't see any task generated by kapt. This makes that my tests pointless because want I want is to assert that the tasks that my plugin adds depends on the correct kapt tasks (for example, that :lightsaberDebugCheck depends on :kaptDebugKotlin). I have some tests using GradleRunner but those tests are way slower and I can't assert the dependencies I just can assert that "X" task was executed without knowing the reason. Is there a way to make this work with ProjectBuilder? Any other idea to how to test this?

are you calling project.evaluate() and then make assertions?

[Brais Gabin]

I wasn't. I'm going to try that. I need to make an ugly cast to ProjectInternal but I only want it to works.

Kapt plugin does the main configuration quite late in the configuration phase, so you have to call evaluate() to get the actual state

It works! Thank you so much. I didn't know about the evaluate function.
