[sbt] Input task dependency on other tasks

[philcali]

What is the correct idiom to define an input task that depends on
other tasks?

I've seen it done this way:

myInputTask <<= inputTask { (argTask: TaskKey[A]) =>
(argTask, mySetting, taskThatDepends, otherTaskThatDepends) map
{ (args, s, _, _) =>
// Do my special work
}
}

Where taskThatDepends and otherTaskThatDepends will be executed when
myInputTask is invoked. Standard tasks have the explicit dependsOn,
and I was wondering if there was such a thing for input tasks.

Thanks!

This is fine. dependsOn is a convenience mainly for tasks that don't do any work themselves.
