 Description   

Hi

I have noticed that finlizedBy does not create the task dependency as dependsOn given example below:

task taskX << {
println 'taskX'
}
task taskY << {
println 'taskY'
}

taskX.finalizedBy taskY

"gradle tasks" would result in:
taskX
taskY

Where changing it to dependsOn

task taskX << {
println 'taskX'
}
task taskY << {
println 'taskY'
}

taskX.dependsOn taskY

"gradle tasks" would result in:
tasksY

Is there any way to use dependsOn the way finalizedBy works. In other words I need finilizeBy to hide the tasks like dependsOn does and show dependencies when called gradle tasks --all

Thanks

Mike

Since 3.3 the dependency report does not render any more task dependencies. Therefore, this issue is obsolete.
