android - Why doesn't gradle tasks show group or description when using exec? -

my gradle task stopped showing group , description in ./gradlew tasks, since i've added exec {} in root build.gradle.

what's going on, , how back?

task dosomething << {     group 'yourgroupname'     description 'runs bash script'     exec {         workingdir "$projectdir/../pathto/"         commandline 'bash', '-c', './bashscript.sh'     } } 

everything else works.

you cannot configure group , description in dolast() closure

this code

task dosomething << {     exec {         workingdir "$projectdir/../pathto/"         commandline 'bash', '-c', './bashscript.sh'     } } 

is same

task dosomething {     dolast {         exec {             workingdir "$projectdir/../pathto/"             commandline 'bash', '-c', './bashscript.sh'         }     } } 

in following group , description not taking account

task dosomething {     dolast {         group 'yourgroupname'         description 'runs bash script'         exec {             workingdir "$projectdir/../pathto/"             commandline 'bash', '-c', './bashscript.sh'         }     } } 

but here :

task dosomething {     group 'yourgroupname'     description 'runs bash script'      dolast {         exec {             workingdir "$projectdir/../pathto/"             commandline 'bash', '-c', './bashscript.sh'         }     } }
