[GRADLE-2336] Error during project evaluation hidden by an other error in afterEvaluate closure Created: 05/Jun/12  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

Project: Gradle

 Description   

When evaluation of a project fails, the afterEvaluate closure is still called. If an other error is detected in this afterEvaluate, an other exception is thrown and hides the original cause of the error.

My use case :

  • an init script set an afterEvaluate closure. This closure is supposed to initialise an ext property that must be created by the main script.
  • the main script has a Groovy syntax error (and hence can not create the property )
    The afterEvaluate closure can not find the expected property an throws an other exception. The real cause of the problem (the syntax error) is hidden.

When the project can not be evaluated, should the afterEvaluate closure be still called ?
