How do I change the dependency direction between

compileKotlin

and

compileJava

tasks in gradle? I try this

compileJava.dependsOn.remove(compileKotlin)
compileKotlin.dependsOn(compileJava)

but I am still getting the error

Circular dependency between the following tasks:
:backend:compileJava
\--- :backend:compileKotlin
     \--- :backend:compileJava (*)

You did exactly what I did last week 😂
