Interface TaskDependency

public interface TaskDependency

A TaskDependency represents an unordered set of tasks which a Task depends on. Gradle ensures that all the dependencies of a task are executed before the task itself is executed.

You can add a TaskDependency to a task by calling the task's Task.dependsOn(Object...) method.

      Set<? extends Task> getDependencies(@Nullable Task task)

      Determines the dependencies for the given Task. This method is called when Gradle assembles the task execution graph for a build. This occurs after all the projects have been evaluated, and before any task execution begins.

      Parameters:
      task - The task to determine the dependencies for.
      Returns:
      The tasks which the given task depends on. Returns an empty set if the task has no dependencies.
