I need to execute a java class which has a main method in it before compiling the code. This is what I have tried so far:
task runSimple(type: JavaExec) {
main = 'jjrom.ObjectGen'
classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
File prop1 = file(propFilePath)
args '-sqlserver', '-force', prop1.path
println "I'm done executing."
}
compileJava {
dependsOn runSimple
}
When I execute this script with the command "gradle compileJava" , I get this error message:
I'm done executing.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong: Circular dependency between the following task: :classes --- :compileJava --- :runSimple --- :classes (*)
