Question

I want to do the following in my Exec task

commandLine = [ 'my_executable_path\\' + executable.exe ,
                 argument1,
                 argument2,
                 argument3 ]

is it possible to do something like this instead?

//...dynamic creation of a List/Array/whatever

    commandLine = [ 'my_executable_path\\' + executable.exe ,
                     myArgumentsList ]

Answer 1

I’m baffled why there are so many questions like this. Is the DSL reference too hard to find or make sense of? What can we improve to allow you to answer such questions yourself?

Anyway, the cleanest solution is:

task exec(type: Exec) {
    executable = "/path/to/executable"
    args = myArgumentsList
}
