Description
As a developer using Gradle Runner Kit, I want an accurate error message when the task path is not absolute so I can find the API usage issue easily.
An even better solution would be to make it a compiler error; however, I don't think that would be possible. We could use something like BuildResult#task(String firstTaskPathSegment, String... otherTaskPathSegment)
, ex: result.task('UpToDateCheck', 'AppDebug')
. However, I prefer something else to this. We could model the TaskPath
to something like TaskPath.absolute(String path)
where the path specified implicitly starts with :
. Or at least something that signals to the user the path is absolute (not relative). We should probably start with an internal model and simply convert the specified taskPath
into the model, which should take care of the exception handling.
Acceptance Criteria
- Given a relative task path
MyProject:myTask
, when callingBuildResult#task
an exception should be thrown explaining the specified path is relative (in Gradle terms), and it needs to be absolute.
