How to print task name in gradle?

Question

I have a question about gradle. I'am a newbie in this build system and want to know about how to print task name or save it in a variable.

Something like this:

> gradle someTask

someTask

i think code is like this

task someTask {
   print ($arg[0])
}

but it is not.

Thank you!

Not sure if it's what you want, but you can get the taskNames that were used when Gradle was called by accessing the project.gradle object.

ie: given the following build.gradle

task someTask << {
    println project.gradle.startParameter.taskNames
}

Then running:

gradle someTask someTask

Gives the output:

:someTask
[someTask, someTask]
