[GRADLE-3332] Referencing tasks.install on Native binary fails with 2.6 Created: 12/Aug/15  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

Status: Resolved
Project: Gradle
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: None

Type: Bug
Reporter: Sterling Greene Assignee: Unassigned
Resolution: Won't Fix Votes: 0

Known Issue Of:
2.6

 Description   

This task used to work <2.6 (it creates a helper task that runs the InstallExecutable tasks on all binaries). Work around is to defer the dependsOn line (in a Closure) or use tasks.withType(InstallExecutable).

task installDeveloperImage {
    description = "Install all debug executables for 64-bit"
    binaries.withType(NativeExecutableBinary) {
        if (it.buildable && buildType == buildTypes.debug) {
            dependsOn it.tasks.install
        }
    }
}

Build file 'build.gradle' line: 19

  • What went wrong:
    A problem occurred configuring root project 'solution'.
    > Exception thrown while executing model rule: ComponentModelBasePlugin.Rules#collectBinaries
    > java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)
