API Documentation: | Wrapper |
---|
Generates scripts (for *nix and windows) which allow you to build your project with Gradle, without having to install Gradle.
When a user executes a wrapper script the first time, the script downloads and installs the appropriate Gradle distribution and runs the build against this downloaded distribution. Any installed Gradle distribution is ignored when using the wrapper scripts.
The scripts generated by this task are intended to be committed to your version control system. This task also
generates a small gradle-wrapper.jar
bootstrap JAR file and properties file which should also be committed to
your VCS. The scripts delegates to this JAR.

execution.
AntBuilder
ant
(read-only)
The AntBuilder
for this task. You can use this in your build file to execute ant
tasks.
PathBase
archiveBase
The archive base specifies whether the unpacked wrapper distribution should be stored in the project or in the gradle user home dir.
- Default:
PathBase.GRADLE_USER_HOME
String

- Default:
'wrapper/dists'
Convention
convention

can use the convention object to
contribute properties and methods to this task.
String
description
The description of this task.
TaskDestroyables
destroyables
(read-only)
The destroyables of this task.
Checks if the task actually did any work. Even if a Task executes, it may determine that it has nothing to do. For example, a compilation task may determine that source files have not changed since the last time a the task was run.
PathBase
distributionBase
The distribution base specifies whether the unpacked wrapper distribution should be stored in the project or in the gradle user home dir.

If not set, the download URL is the default for the specified Wrapper.getGradleVersion()
.
If Wrapper.getGradleVersion()
is not set, will return null.
The wrapper downloads a certain distribution only once and caches it. If your distribution base is the project, you might submit the distribution to your version control system. That way no download is necessary at all. This might be in particular interesting, if you provide a custom gradle snapshot to the wrapper, because you don't need to provide a download server then.
- Default:
"http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-${gradleVersion}-bin.zip"
(or"http\://services.gradle.org/distributions-snapshots/gradle-${gradleVersion}-bin.zip"
for snapshot versions).

}
The Thread executing this task will be interrupted if the task takes longer than the specified amount of time to run. In order for a task to work properly with this feature, it needs to react to interrupts and must clean up any resources it opened.

For each supplied task, this action adds a task 'ordering', and does not specify a 'dependency' between the tasks. As such, it is still possible to execute 'taskY' without first executing the 'taskX' in the example.
See here for a description of the types of objects which can be used to specify an ordering relationship.

You may add multiple such predicates. The task is skipped if any of the predicates return false.
Typical usage:myTask.onlyIf { isProductionEnvironment() }
Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.
Execute the task only if the given spec is satisfied. The spec will be evaluated at task execution time, not during configuration. If the Spec is not satisfied, the task will be skipped.
You may add multiple such predicates. The task is skipped if any of the predicates return false.
Typical usage (from Java):
myTask.onlyIf("run only in production environment", new Spec<Task>() { boolean isSatisfiedBy(Task task) { return isProductionEnvironment(); } });
Execute the task only if the given spec is satisfied. The spec will be evaluated at task execution time, not during configuration. If the Spec is not satisfied, the task will be skipped.
You may add multiple such predicates. The task is skipped if any of the predicates return false.
Typical usage (from Java):
myTask.onlyIf(new Spec<Task>() { boolean isSatisfiedBy(Task task) { return isProductionEnvironment(); } });
Returns the value of the given property of this task. This method locates a property as follows:

enabled
project property. - The task's convention object.

is thrown.
TaskDependency
shouldRunAfter
(Object
...
paths)
Object
...Specifies that this task should run after all of the supplied tasks.
task taskY {
shouldRunAfter "taskX"
}
For each supplied task, this action adds a task 'ordering', and does not specify a 'dependency' between the tasks. As such, it is still possible to execute 'taskY' without first executing the 'taskX' in the example.
