What's the best way to hook into Compose Resources generation (in Gradle)? I want to run another Gradle task before any of the CMP Resources generation happens. The best I've come up with is:

val sourceTask = ...

tasks.named { it.startsWith("convertXmlValueResources") }.configureEach {
    dependsOn(sourceTask)
}

tasks.named("generateComposeResClass") {
    dependsOn(sourceTask)
}

Neither of these task types are linked or dependent on each other AFAICT, so need to make them all depend on my task. Is it worth adding a single parent task? assmebleComposeResources or something?

I plan to implement a feature to support custom dir/tasks as input for the compose resources generation logic:

I think it is what you want

Kinda. I want to run another resources generator (in this case Twine) before CMP does anything to do with resources. That way, I can invoke twine, and move the generated output to somewhere CMP knows about.

Custom paths would be handy though. At the moment I just generate the files as generated.xml and gitignore that path

[Konstantin Tskhovrebov]

well, you will need to set your task output as input for my task, right?

[cb]

yeah, that should work

You could try it in the latest dev build
