gradle custom task execution phase -

this question gradle (>= 2.4). write custom task following:

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/custom_tasks.html

class greetingtask extends defaulttask {     @taskaction     def greet() {         println 'hello greetingtask'     } }  task hello(type: greetingtask) 

how can make task run during execution phase? passing empty closure with

<< {  } 

the solution?

edit

the task supposed used in multiproject build several tasks dependencies.

i'd command gradle build build projects saying

`build.dependson(hello)` 

but seems task hello called during configuration phase of build.

add following build.gradle file:

class greetingtask extends defaulttask {     @taskaction     def greet() {         println 'hello greetingtask'     } }  task hello(type: greetingtask) {     println "this configuration phase"      dofirst {         println "this execution phase"     } } 

now execute gradle hello. output see is

this configuration phase :hello execution phase hello greetingtask  build successful 

as can see, output task occurs after dofirst(), happens during execution phase.
