i ve seen grammar of groovy language , don't understand why don't need add quotes name of gradle task when declare like: task hello (type : defaulttask) { } ve tried in groovy project , found it's illegal, how gradle makes works. , don't understand expression above neither, why can add '(type : defaulttask)', how can analyze groovy grammar?
as example in groovyconsole runnable form, can define bit of code thusly:
// set base class our dsl @basescript(mydsl) import groovy.transform.basescript // deal people class person { string name closure method string tostring() { "$name" } person(string name, closure cl) { this.name = name this.method = cl this.method.delegate = } def greet(string greeting) { println "$greeting $name" } } // , our base dsl class abstract class mydsl extends script { def methodmissing(string name, args) { return new person(name, args[0]) } def person(person p) { p.method(p) } } // our actual script person tim { greet 'hello' } so when script @ bottom executed, prints hello tim stdout
but david's answer correct one, example
