Hi, how can i make all existing build tasks depends on a custom one ?
thannnks

Simply:
```
tasks.all {
    dependsOn(yourTask)
}
```

It's possible that you need to not make self-dependency though:
```
tasks.all {
    if (this != yourTask) dependsOn(yourTask)
}
```

Got a Circular dependency exception
your example use the gradle kotlin dsl ?

there is what i've tried:

```
tasks.all {
    if (this.name != "customTask") dependsOn customTask
}
```

and
```
tasks.all {
    if (this != tasks.getByName("customTask")) dependsOn customTask
}
```

`this != yourTask` does not work because my custom task is of type Exec

Using Gradle Kotlin DSL will prevent you from needing `equals`.
This should work but keep in mind it's using internal API, so they could change in the future:
```
tasks.all {
    if (this != yourTask &amp;&amp; yourTask !in taskDependencies.getDependencies(this)) {
        dependsOn(yourTask)
    }
}
```

ow, i'm sorry it was not clear, i'm not using the kotlin DSL:zipper_mouth_face:

You can probably make it work in Groovy with only a few changes
