Gradle — execute multiple commands from task

Question

I have 2 separate apps (in one project) that require 2 separate builds (sencha cmd). I have been asked to create a gradle script that will do the builds for both apps.

Answer 1

It's impossible to configure (run) multiple commands for the task of type Exec. commandLine it's just a setter - the last one wins. If you need to run multiple commands the best idea is to implement multiple tasks as @RaGe suggested in the comment or to write a custom task and use groovy's native mechanisms - execute method.
