Tasks always run any dependencies that are required. So if you ask to run test it shouldn't run javadoc/checkstyle/... but should compile the code and compile the code of all dependencies. test should never have a dependency on checkstyle or javadoc or similar 'check' like tasks as they shouldn't be needed.
I set up the gradle build so that everytime you run a command in gradle, it generates a task dependency tree dot file (look for visteg.dot inside build/reports). I uploaded this one to imgur[1] for the ':sdks:java:core:build' task to show what tasks are required. Note that 'sdks:java:core:test' doesn't depend on checkstyle or spotless. 1: https://imgur.com/a/ZvYUX On Wed, Jan 24, 2018 at 12:50 PM, Romain Manni-Bucau <rmannibu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hmm, do I miss something or it only works for iterative runs when trying > to identify an issue and not for the case you rebuild due to code changes > (where you would need like 5-6 tasks at least - generate, compile, test, > ...)? > > In case it is unclear: there are 2 needs: direct execution/task -> > fulfilled and clarified now (just a doc issue I think), fast cycle skipping > not mandatory tasks like style related ones > > > Romain Manni-Bucau > @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau> | Blog > <https://rmannibucau.metawerx.net/> | Old Blog > <http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com> | Github > <https://github.com/rmannibucau> | LinkedIn > <https://www.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau> > > 2018-01-24 19:50 GMT+01:00 Lukasz Cwik <lc...@google.com>: > >> Gradle already has each task explicitly broken out.
