title: Gradle: Add a task dependency tags: gradle, gradle-task-dependency

If you already have a task -- test for example -- and you want to make that depend on a task you've written you can do the following:

task myTask() {
  // blar
}

test.dependsOn myTask

'gradle test' will look like

...
:myTask
:compileTestJava
:processTestResources
:testClasses
:test
...
