hello! is there a way to finalize root module task AFTER all child modules finish their tasks? e.g. would like to finalize publish with closeAndReleaseRepository (from gradle-nexus-staging-plugin) but it needs to run after ALL modules finish publishing their artifacts. Currently I’m explicitly running gradle publish closeAndReleaseRepository but wondering whether there is a better way

There is no publish in the root module, when you call: ./gradlew publish you are just executing publish on all the Gradle modules

[Dariusz Kuc]

well my dependsOn clause for root publish works fine (i.e. initializeSonatypeStagingRepository)

but yeah there are no artifacts for root to be published

[cristiangm]

It seems you are applying the publishing plugin to the root project, so, yes, you have a publish task (that does nothing) at the root

[Dariusz Kuc]

So there is no clean way of updating build to finalize publish after all modules are published

[cristiangm]

I was looking for the documentation but I don't find it, Gradle suggests exposing a configuration from the projects and consuming it from the root in your case..

[cristiangm]

That's the thing, different tasks on different projects... You could declare a task on the root that depends on all the projects and is finelizedBy the close

I guess

Eh i think i'll keep explicit task invocation for publish + closerepo

[Dariusz Kuc]

Thanks!

[cristiangm]

BTW does anything enforce the order of the task or may it run before the publish finished?

[Dariusz Kuc]

i guess its just gradle running tasks in order they are specified
