Hey,
I have these tasks:
def my_dir = "test_dir"
task A(type: Delete) {
delete = my_dir
}
task B(dependsOn: "A") {
outputs.upToDateWhen {
file(my_dir).exists()
}
doFirst {
ant.mkdir dir: my_dir
}
}
I was assuming that when a task is up-to-date its dependencies wouldn't be
executed. However, B is never up-to-date because the upToDateWhen closure is
executed before B is executed but not before A is executed. A is always
executed
regardless of B's outputs.
Is there a way of avoiding B's dependencies are executed when its outputs are
up-to-date?
Thanks
Steven
