Control the gradle task execute order

I have a strange problem about gradle task recently.

Assume I have a simple gradle config as follows

apply plugin: "java"
apply plugin: "maven"

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.diffplug.gradle.spotless:spotless:2.0.0"
    }
}

apply plugin: "com.diffplug.gradle.spotless"


spotless {
    java {
        eclipseFormatFile 'format.xml'  // XML file dumped out by the Eclipse formatter
    }
}

spotlessJavaCheck.dependsOn(processResources)

version = '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

I just want to set the depends on relationship for the spotless check. After I run a build, the error looks like this

> Could not find property 'spotlessJavaCheck' on root project 'gradle-helloworld'.

I have done something similar with other plugins, it works well, but not for this spotless plugin.

Br,

Tim

Spotless Gradle plugin does magic at configuration time.

You need to set the dependency after evaluation time, once the magic is done:

afterEvaluate {
    tasks['spotlessJavaCheck'].dependsOn processResources
}
