Hi all. This might be more of a <#C19FD9681|gradle...

# multiplatform

Hi all. This might be more of a #gradle question than #multiplatform, but I have this task that generate api & models in my commonMain

openApiGenerate {
  generatorName.set("kotlin")
  library.set("multiplatform")
  ...
}

By default this task doesn’t dependOn to run before any build task, so I had to manually do so

tasks.preBuild { dependsOn(tasks.openApiGenerate) }

This works for android, but for desktop i had to do

tasks.named("compileKotlinDesktop") { dependsOn(tasks.openApiGenerate) }

so forth for all other targets. Is there a common task that I can hook on to instead?

if you added its output to the appropriate sourceSet through the proper mechanisms (which happens automatically with task output properties, or manually with files(...).builtBy(...)) then it all just works automatically and you should not need any explicit task dependencies

[ephemient]

https://github.com/ephemient/kotlin-numeric/blob/main/build.gradle.kts for example has two custom tasks that are added to sourceSets.commonMain.kotlin and Gradle automatically generates before compiling

[ephemient]

and yes, this is definitely more of a #gradle question than a #multiplatform or kotlin question

I have

sourceSets {
    val commonMain by getting {
      // include build open-api definitions
      kotlin.srcDir("$buildDir/openapi/src/commonMain")
    }
  }

doesnt look like task is in the task graph by default 🤔
even the docs say

if you’re generating the code on compile, you can add these as a dependency to compileJava or any other existing task…

compileJava.dependsOn buildKotlinClient, tasks.openApiGenerate

[xxfast]

dont think compileJava task exist in a multiplatform module, so just wondering if there is an equivalent

[ephemient]

.srcDir("string") definitely loses the task dependency

[ephemient]

it should be .srcDir(DirectoryProperty) or something similar, or fall back to building your own ConfigurableFileCollection if their plugin doesn't use the proper Gradle APIs

[ephemient]

… looks like they don't, so

srcDir(openApiGenerate.outputDir.flatMap { files(it).builtBy(tasks.openApiGenerate)) })

or something along those lines

[xxfast]

thanks let me try this out

[xxfast]

maybe the multiplatform template author @andrewemery has any recommendation 🤔

[xxfast]

doesn’t look like they are on this slack
