How can I disable a task in build.gradle

Question

I want to skip some tasks when I run gradle build. I know that it can be done from command line with -x:

gradle build -x unwantedTask 
         


        

Answer 1

Because I need to disable a bunch of tasks, so I use the following codes before apply plugin: in my build.gradle file:

tasks.whenTaskAdded {task ->
    if(task.name.contains("unwantedTask")) {
        task.enabled = false
    }
}
