Updating Android build gradle version to 3.2.1 is causing error

Question

Everything worked fine until I updated build gradle to 3.2.1 and now I cannot build my project. I have a task that generates some variant specific code as defined below:

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    def generateClientIdConfigTask = project.tasks.create(..)
    ....

    variant.variantData.sourceGenTask.dependsOn generateClientIdConfigTask
}

This line is causing following error:

Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: sourceGenTask for class: com.android.build.gradle.internal.variant.ApplicationVariantData

I already updated distributionUrl in the gradle wrapper as below:

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.6- all.zip

Any help would be appreciated. Is there a different way to write dependsOn ?

Answer 1

API android plugin was changed. You need to do this (replace variant.variantData.sourceGenTask to variant.variantData.getTaskContainer().sourceGenTask ):

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    def generateClientIdConfigTask = project.tasks.create(..)
    ....

    variant.variantData.getTaskContainer().sourceGenTask.dependsOn generateClientIdConfigTask
}
