How to print the current task name in gradle

Question

Is there a way where I can get the details of the current task being executed? For example I want to print the name of the current task being executed, etc.

I tried this :

task printMyNameIfYouCan << {
    println $task.name
}

But it fails with

Execution failed for task ':printMyNameIfYouCan'.
> Could not find property '$task' on task ':printMyNameIfYouCan'.

NOTE: I checked How to print task name in gradle?, but this is not I'm looking at.

Answer 1

gradle.taskGraph.afterTask {
    Task task,TaskState state ->
        if (state.failure) {    println "$task.name FAILED"}
        else               {    println "$task.name SUCCESSFULL"}
}

Answer 2

task printMyNameIfYouCan {
    doLast {
        println name
    }
}
