Hi,
As asked by Luke Daley, I'm sending my notes on lazy configuration to the
dev list. The idea of lazy task confiuration is roughly described here:
http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/allow_tasks_to_be_configured_just_before_execution
I will summarize:
As I know, you are already working on lazy configuration. I would like to
have some notes and reguests.
1. I believe that my proposed lazy task configuration can solve many
practical problems and is a simple concept: Easy to comprehend. In short,
lazy task configuration is a configuration block which is executed just
before the task is executed.
2. I understand, that you want something more generic. If I can have a word
on it, I would like if you don't make something like
publications {
// lazy block
}
This is because making some of the configuration block lazy while others
being eager (they must remain eager until Gradle 2 for backward
compatibilty), is inconsistent and very confusing. So rather, I'd prefer a
syntax like this:
publications lazy {
// lazy block
}
This can be extended to other parts of Gradle in the future.
bye,
Attila Kelemen
