Skip a task when running another task

问题

I added a task to my gradle project:

task deploy() {
    dependsOn "build"
    // excludeTask "test"  <-- something like this

    doFirst {
       // ...
    }
}

Now the build task always runs before the deploy task. This is fine because the build task has many steps included. Now I want to explicitly disable one of these included tasks.

Usually I disable it from command line with

gradle deploy -x test

How can I exclude the test task programmatically?

回答1:

You need to configure tasks graph rather than configure the deploy task itself. Here's the piece of code you need:

gradle.taskGraph.whenReady { graph ->
    if (graph.hasTask(deploy)) {
        test.enabled = false
    }
}

I don't know what your deploy task does, but it probably just shouldn't depend on the 'build' task. The 'build' task is a very coarse grained lifecycle task that includes tons of stuff you probably don't want.

Instead it should correctly define its inputs (probably the artifacts that you wanna deploy) and then Gradle will only run the necessary tasks to build those inputs. Then you no longer need any excludes.
