Copying third party licenses in Gradle? about license-gradle-plugin HOT 8 CLOSED

Could you try:

copyToAssets.dependsOn project.tasks.getByName('downloadLicenses')

Both the task and the extension are named downloadLicenses, so I think that is why you get that message.

from license-gradle-plugin.

This solution no longer works as both

generateDebugResources.dependsOn tasks['downloadLicenses']
generateReleaseResources.dependsOn tasks['downloadLicenses']

are evaluated and now the build step that does not exist (can't be both Debug and Release) will throw an exception. Any advice?

Judging from the comments there, your problem is fixed, correct?

from license-gradle-plugin.

Unfortunately not. The answer did not solve my problem.

Maybe this error can help. I was trying to do:

copyToAssets.dependsOn downloadLicenses

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':application:copyToAssets'.

Cannot convert nl.javadude.gradle.plugins.license.DownloadLicensesExtension_Decorated@59cb18b5 to a task.

Thank you! I will first try a different approach which seems to be working (see post on stackoverflow)

from license-gradle-plugin.

It worked (see: Stackoverflow for recipe) :-)

This is solved. See the stackoverflow post referenced in my last comment for a solution.
