how do i make a task execute before compileDebugKotlin

Could not get unknown property 'compileDebugKotlin' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

compileDebugKotlin.dependsOn MyTask

compileDebugKotlin

is not a property, this is a task

You can probably wrap it with

afterEvaluate {}

block if for some reason task applied lazily

what happens when a project is evaluated

it means that all plugins applied already

as https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_lifecycle.html doesnt seem to specify it

Gradle determines the subset of the tasks, created and configured during the configuration phase, to be executed. The subset is determined by the task name arguments passed to the gradle command and the current directory

anyway this is just a way to postpone configuration

Usually you can do this by apply configuration after plugin application, not sure why it doesn't work in this case

What do you mean? Tasks always executing during build/compile process
