Wrong order of task execution in gradle 3.3

I want to define methods inside my script file, and use them to define build tasks for each project individual (custom library).

ext.buildDockerImage = { imageName ->

    def distDir = "${getProject().getBuildDir()}/docker"
    copy {
        from "${project.getProjectDir()}/src/docker/"
        into distDir
    }
    println 'Build docker image'
}

In my project build.gradle I have created a task:

apply plugin: "war"
apply plugin: "jacoco"

dependency {
  // all dependencies
}

task buildDocker() {
    apply from: "${project.getRootDir()}/docker/scripts.gradle"
    buildDockerImage("admin")
}

The problem is that whenever I am running gradle build, this tasks executes also:

 $ gradle build -xtest
Build docker image
# rest of build

As you can see , all I want is to create a custom library that will hold methods, used to create tasks for each project. But currently I cannot import those methods without breaking the build. Method buildDockerImage will work only after war file is added to build directory, so this task must be executed on demand only, I don't want to be included in the process all the time.

Your task buildDocker() defines everything in configuration phase. So when you run your gradle build this will always run.

task buildDocker() {
    apply from: "${project.getRootDir()}/docker/scripts.gradle"
    buildDockerImage("admin")
}

If you want to run this task as a standalone task, define your stuff in execution phase of the task. something like below

task buildDocker() {
  apply from: "${project.getRootDir()}/docker/scripts.gradle"
  doLast{
    buildDockerImage("admin")
  }
}
