• public void upToDateWhen(Closure upToDateClosure)

  Adds a predicate to determine whether the outputs of this task are up-to-date. The given closure is executed at task execution time. The closure is passed the task as a parameter. If the closure returns false, the task outputs are considered out-of-date and the task will be executed.

  You can add multiple such predicates. The task outputs are considered out-of-date when any predicate returns false.

  Parameters:

  upToDateClosure - The closure to use to determine whether the task outputs are up-to-date.

• public void upToDateWhen(Spec<? super Task> upToDateSpec)

  Adds a predicate to determine whether the outputs of this task are up-to-date. The given spec is evaluated at task execution time. If the spec returns false, the task outputs are considered out-of-date and the task will be executed.

  You can add multiple such predicates. The task outputs are considered out-of-date when any predicate returns false.

  Parameters:

  upToDateSpec - The spec to use to determine whether the task outputs are up-to-date.
