[GRADLE-3570] Model reference $. syntax does not work in project scope Created: 29/Sep/16  Updated: 12/Dec/16  Resolved: 12/Dec/16

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

Type: Bug

 Description   

Take the simple example from the variant docs1

model {
    tasks {
        buildAllExecutables(Task) {
            dependsOn $.binaries.findAll { it.buildable }
        }
    }
}

This works just fine. Now embed the same code within a multi-project, single build script situation i.e.

project(':bob') { // <-- this bit's new
model {
    tasks {
        buildAllExecutables(Task) {
            dependsOn $.binaries.findAll { it.buildable }
        }
    }
}
} // <-- this bit's new

and you get the error:

build file 'test.gradle': 12: Invalid variable name. Must include a letter but only found: $. At [12:23] @ line 12, column 23.
dependsOn $.binaries.findAll { it.buildable }

As announced on the Gradle blog we are planning to completely migrate issues from JIRA to GitHub.

We intend to prioritize issues that are actionable and impactful while working more closely with the community. Many of our JIRA issues are inactionable or irrelevant. We would like to request your help to ensure we can appropriately prioritize JIRA issues you’ve contributed to.

Please confirm that you still advocate for your JIRA issue before December 10th, 2016 by:

  • Checking that your issues contain requisite context, impact, behaviors, and examples as described in our published guidelines.
  • Leave a comment on the JIRA issue or open a new GitHub issue confirming that the above is complete.

We look forward to collaborating with you more closely on GitHub. Thank you for your contribution to Gradle!
