I have a custom gradle that I d like to run before executing kotlinlang #gradle

I have a custom gradle that I'd like to run before executing any KMP task (i.e. compileKotlinJvm, compileKotlinJs, compileKotlinLinuxX64, e.t.c) is there a common task that all of these platform specific task do depend on that I can hook my custom task there?

I know have it as

targets.configureEach {
        compilations.all {
            compileKotlinTask.dependsOn("generateCode")
        }
    }

Is there another better way?

going by the "generateCode" name, surely it would be better to add the task output to the sourceset? then all the compile dependencies would work automatically

As well as other tasks needing sources like doc tasks, source jar tasks, analysis tasks, ...

So, yes. The task output is already added the commonMain sourceSet, however, I was looking for any other better alternative (if it exists) so that when I call

compileKotlinJvm

then

generateCode

will be called as a dependency. Just adding the output to the sourceSet works if the code is already generated, and it doesn't if the code is not generated at all in the first place

is this Android? there's a bit of a mess there

but with normal JVM projects, assuming you're adding it correctly (e.g.

task.outputDir

not

file(dir)

), the task dependencies are tracked

Its not android at all. Let me try with

task.outputDir

I had it with

kotlin.srcDirs

You don't even need

task.outputDir

, just use

task

(as long as

outputDir

is the only output of the task

Implicit task dependencies are practically always preferable over explicit

dependsOn

which always is a code smell
