define alias for gradle task with custom argument

I want to run

./gradlew extractMyDeps

instead of

./gradlew :app:dependencies --configuration productionDebugRuntimeClasspath

but I can't pass args to this task via dependOn

How to achieve my goal?

task("extractMyDeps") {
    dependsOn(":app:dependencies") // how pass --configuration
}

I think you can't pass the command line arguments to another task. But if you want to make an alias for a task you can use Exec Tasks like this:

task('extractMyDeps', type: Exec) {
    workingDir '..'

    def arguments = ['cmd', '/c', 'gradlew', ':app:dependencies', '--configuration', 'testCompileClasspath']

    commandLine arguments
}

By using this task, you can run:

> gradlew extractMyDeps

Also you can make it more dynamic by passing the configuration name like this:

task('extractMyDeps', type: Exec) {
    workingDir '..'
    def arguments = ['cmd', '/c', 'gradlew', ':app:dependencies']
    if (project.hasProperty("conf")) {
        def conf = project.property("conf")
        arguments.add('--configuration')
        arguments.add(conf.toString())
    }

    commandLine arguments
}

This way these commands are valid:

> gradlew extractMyDeps

> gradlew extractMyDeps -Pconf=testCompileClasspath

I hope it will help you.
