Gradle - clarification on "check.dependsOn dependencyCheckAggregate"

[Piyush Mittal]

Description: Added configuration as mentioned here: https://jeremylong.github.io/DependencyCheck/dependency-check-gradle/configuration-aggregate.html

Run ODC using:

./gradlew dependencyCheckAggregate --info

Error

* What went wrong:

A problem occurred evaluating project 'testGradle'.

Could not find property 'check' on project 'testGradle'

error in this line "check.dependsOn dependencyCheckAggregate"

If above line is removed, everything works fine. Hence, wanted to confirm if this line is required or not. What it does and where exactly to put this line in build.gradle file. Thanks!

"check" is a task that is added by the Java plugin.  I haven't read the code to see if ODC truly depends on the check task or if it was just using it as a way to hook in, but perhaps Jeremy can add more clarification.  My assumption is applying the Java plugin would also solve your issue:

I suppose I should add a comment clarifying why the `check.dependsOn dependencyCheckAggregate` is in the documentation the way it is.  That is a fairly standard way within gradle to attach the dependencyChecckAggregate task to the Java plugin's check task. If you are not using the java plugin you would either need to explicitly invoke the dependencyCheckAggregate task or attach it to another standard task in your build.

Note that java plugin has to be applied before setting the dependsOn relation, e.g. like this:

apply plugin: 'java'
check.dependsOn dependencyCheckUpdate

If you do it the other way round, the aforementioned error occurs. Also note that the java plugin gets applied automatically by some other plugins like the groovy plugin.
