Resetting the UP-TO-DATE property of gradle tasks?
Try to run your build with -C rebuild
that rebuilds Gradle's cache.
In newer versions of Gradle, use --rerun-tasks
If you want just a single task to always run, you can set the outputs
property inside of the task.
outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
Please be aware that if your task does not have any defined file inputs, Gradle may skip the task, even when using the above code. For example, in a Zip or Copy task there needs to be at least one file provided in the configuration phase of the task definition.
You can use cleanTaskname
Let's say you have
:someproject:sometask1 UP-TO-DATE
:someproject:sometask2 UP-TO-DATE
:someproject:sometask3 UP-TO-DATE
And you want to force let's say sometask2 to run again you can
someproject:cleanSometask2
before you run the task that runs it all.
Apparently in gradle, every task that understands UP-TO-DATE also understand how to clean itself.
