@DisableCachingByDefault(because="Abstract super-class, not to be instantiated directly") public abstract class GeneratorTask<T> extends org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask

A GeneratorTask generates a configuration file based on a domain object of type T. When executed the task:

  • loads the object from the input file, if it exists.
  • Calls the beforeConfigured actions, passing the object to each action.
  • Configures the object in some task-specific way.
  • Calls the afterConfigured actions, passing the object to each action.
  • writes the object to the output file.

    • getInstantiator

      @Inject protected org.gradle.internal.reflect.Instantiator getInstantiator()
    • getInputFile

      @Internal("Covered by inputFileIfExists") public File getInputFile()
      The input file to load the initial configuration from. Defaults to the output file. If the specified input file does not exist, this task uses some default initial configuration.
      Returns:
      The input file.
    • getInputFileIfExists

      @Nullable @Optional @PathSensitive(NONE) @InputFile protected File getInputFileIfExists()
    • setInputFile

      public void setInputFile(@Nullable File inputFile)
      Sets the input file to load the initial configuration from.
      Parameters:
      inputFile - The input file. Use null to use the output file.
    • getOutputFile

      @OutputFile public File getOutputFile()
      The output file to write the final configuration to.
      Returns:
      The output file.
    • setOutputFile

      public void setOutputFile(File outputFile)
      Sets the output file to write the final configuration to.
      Parameters:
      outputFile - The output file.
