Gradle 2.4 - Excute a Groovy-Script-file in run-task after compileGroovy-task

Question

I need to start a groovy script during the gradle- run -task after the compileGroovy -task, in order to create some resources. Therefore I have made the following build.gradle -file:

apply plugin: 'groovy'
apply plugin:'application'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.4.3'
}

task myTask << {
    new GroovyShell().run(file('/src/someScript.groovy'))
}
myTask.mustRunAfter(compileGroovy)
myTask.dependsOn(compileGroovy)

Problem is: myTask is never executed when I execute the run -task.

How can I let myTask be executed after compileGroovy -task, which is nested inside run -task?

Answer 1

Try adding:

compileGroovy.finalizedBy(myTask)

It should solve the problem.
