When is Gradle.buildStarted called?

Old Forum

I’m trying to listen the start/stop of a build. In my custom plugin’s apply() I’m doing:

project.gradle.buildStarted { }

project.gradle.buildFinished { }

The first closure is never called, the 2nd is after the build is done. Is it too late to listen to build start event? I’m trying to do something after the evaluation, but before the tasks are run (and only if they are run).

‘gradle.buildStarted’ is called too early for a plugin to register a listener in time. If you are interested in which tasks will be running, ‘gradle.taskGraph.whenReady’ might be what you are looking for.

Seems to work thanks.
