mustRunAfter

@Incubating abstract fun mustRunAfter(vararg paths: Any): Task

Specifies that this task must run after all of the supplied tasks.

 task taskY { mustRunAfter "taskX" } 

For each supplied task, this action adds a task 'ordering', and does not specify a 'dependency' between the tasks. As such, it is still possible to execute 'taskY' without first executing the 'taskX' in the example.

See here for a description of the types of objects which can be used to specify an ordering relationship.

Parameters

paths - The tasks this task must run after.

Return
the task object this method is applied to
