How can I disable a task in build.gradle

Question

I want to skip some tasks when I run gradle build. I know that it can be done from command line with -x:

gradle build -x unwantedTask  

My question is how can the same result be achieved in the build.gradle?

Answer 1

You can try e.g.:

unwantedTask.enabled = false 

Answer 2

Because I need to disable a bunch of tasks, so I use the following codes before apply plugin: in my build.gradle file:

tasks.whenTaskAdded {task ->     if(task.name.contains("unwantedTask")) {         task.enabled = false     } }
