Hey I am trying to define single task that can run all stati

Question

Hey I am trying to define single task that can run all static checks ktlint android lint detekt and tests single taks that could verify project correctness As far as I know only way to do it in gradle is to define task that depends on other tasks so they will run before ``` task prCheck afterEvaluate Non android modules do not have lint task val lintDependencies = subprojects mapNotNull $ it name lint val taskDependencies = mutableListOf lt String gt ktlintCheck detekt testDebugUnitTest taskDependencies addAll lintDependencies dependsOn taskDependencies ``` Above task works well for android lint detekt ktlint however it fails to resolve `testDebugUnitTest` task thinking face ``` FAILURE Build failed with an exception What went wrong Could not determine the dependencies of task prCheck gt Task with path testDebugUnitTest not found in root project android ```

Where do you create this task It will work only in module with this task

Also it may be somehow related to task creation

I am defining `prCheck` task in project root level `build gradle kts` so and I am able to run it in project root like this ` gradlew prCheck` the only problem is `testDebugUnitTest` task that comes from Android FYI I can run ` gradlew testDebugUnitTest` without any problems the problem starts when I want to use it as dependency

No it will not work like that you cannot just define task and depend on task in another module

gildor · Answer

Dependencies by default only resolve tasks in the same module

gildor · Answer

Instead apply this task in app your modules

gildor · Answer

You can run it like gradlew testDebugUnitTest only because Gradle resolve tasks from all modules and run all of them with the same name but this doesn t work in task dependencies so to implement such check task 1 Apply it to every module so it will resolve dependencies and Gradle will run check task on every module where this task exists 2 You probably can get task from submodule directly like `submodules myModule tasks testDebugUnitTest ` and set dependency on it but didn t try this approach and all default Gradle task work like 1 not like 2
