In this post of Gradle, I will show how to execute multiple tasks from command line.

Below is the gradle script with three tasks

build.gradle

task task1 {
    doFirst {
        println 'I am task1'
    }
}

task task2 {
    doFirst {
        println 'I am task2'
    }
}

task task3 {
    doFirst {
        println 'I am task3'
    }
}

Open the command line and go to the folder containing the build.gradle.

Run the below code

gradle task1 task2 task3

We are passing name of three tasks as argument to the command gradle.

The gradle build will search for build.gradle file in the current folder and execute the mentioned tasks in the order they are listed in the argument.

It will also execute dependent tasks. If multiple tasks say task2 and task3 depend on same task say task1, the dependent task task1 will be executed once.

Output

E:\Projects\GradleConcepts\package3>gradle task1 task2 task3

Task :task1
I am task1

Task :task2
I am task2

Task :task3
I am task3
