Add task dependency to existing Gradle task

Question

I'm going to lose my mind about this. I have a build.gradle file that looks something like:

apply plugin: 'idea'
task blah{
  // do something
}
idea{
  // some stuff
  dependsOn blah
}

and I'm getting this:

Could not find method dependsOn() for arguments [task ':blah'] on root project ...

I can't figure out what the right syntax is. Any help?

Answer 1

This should work:

apply plugin: 'idea'
task blah{
  // do something
}
tasks.idea.dependsOn(blah)
