Hi guys, I'm still confused about the usage of the below code. What's the difference between them? Will it cause any potential performance impact? Which one should I use if I only want it to take effect when I want to execute

publish

or

publishToMavenLocal

?

tasks.withType<AbstractPublishToMaven> {
    dependsOn(tasks.build)
}

tasks.withType<AbstractPublishToMaven>().configureEach {
    dependsOn(tasks.build)
}

tasks.withType<AbstractPublishToMaven>().all {
    dependsOn(tasks.build)
}

the middle

First and last are equivalent, and will realize all tasks (instantiate and configure them) whether they're scheduled for execution or not. The second one will only get executed for tasks that are scheduled for execution (or have been realized through other means). So prefer the second one. (you can add prints inside the closures and see which one is called depending on the tasks you run)

Thank you all!

Unlikely. The first one will probably stay like that for backwards compatibility, as that would a breaking change and one that could be very subtle. And the third one has its valid use-cases.
