in my root

build.gradle

I have

apply from: 'test.gradle.kts'

, then in

test.gradle.kts

I have:

tasks.register("vytibnhcyfugohsjfdbnafvdsa") {

}

After I run Sync Project with Gradle files twice, I get this warning in Android Studio (see image), and the log says

Caused by: org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultTaskContainer$DuplicateTaskException: Cannot add task 'vytibnhcyfugohsjfdbnafvdsa' as a task with that name already exists.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this is a bug?

Maybe you are adding this file twice?

certainly not

You could

println(…)

something before creating the task. Probably and for whatever reason the script is executed twice 😮

I added

println("vyuogihj")

before

tasks.register

, then I got:

$ ./gradlew tasks | grep vyuogihj              
vyuogihj

Maybe the best option is to register the tasks only if it doesn't exist. I'm not a gradle expert, but I think the integration between Android Studio and kotlin gradle files are experimental
