We'd use this to automatically run the dashboard task whenever a reporting task is executed, and to split reporting out of the test task.

I actually wanted to work on making copy task encoding-aware but it now seems to me like working on the task execution makes more sense and will be more benefitial to a bigger group of users. I also know the code in that area pretty well now so hopefully I should be able to get stuff done quite quickly. Any design docs and/or implementation hints on those 'finalizer' tasks would be highly appreciated. I'm happy to start on it after I'm done with the mustRunAfter docs. > >> >> On Mar 10, 2013 9:29 PM, "Adam Murdoch" <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> On 11 March 2013 03:24, Szczepan Faber <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>> Hey Marcin, >>>> >>>> Dzieki for this awesome code ;) >>>> >>>> I have some questions about how it works.

There will be another rule that we add to allow you to force tasks to be added to the graph - eg if the unit tests run, then also run the test report task. >>> >>>> >>>> 2.

If you run 'gradle bar foo' and 'bar' fails, 'foo' will still be executed (if you're running with --continue). It's an ordering rule not a dependency rule. >>> >>>> >>>> 3.

The 'must' in the name means that it is a mandatory ordering, and so it blows up when there are contradictory rules. We'll probably add an equivalent 'should' ordering too - my unit tests should run before my int tests, but it doesn't matter if they don't. >>> >>>> >>>> 5.
