Is there any way to disable some tasks without configuring all tasks eargerly? I'm using something like this:

Copy code

tasks.matching { it.name.contains(specificName) }
    .configureEach { it.enabled = false }

It works, but it makes all tasks eagerly configured just to find out their name.

something like this may work:

Copy code

tasks.withType<Task>().configureEach {
	enabled = !name.contains("foo")
}

this variation better reflects your use case:

Copy code

tasks.withType<Task>().configureEach {
  if( name.contains(specificName)) {
	  enabled = false
  }
}

Nice, however, I must ask, how much less work does Gradle have to do with

tasks.withType<Task>.configureEach

tasks.matching

? From outside, it seems like they are doing the same amount of work 😅

they are doing the same thing - comparing names, just using different approaches. In the latter case it maintains laziness.

there’s a slightly improved variant, yields same results:

Copy code

tasks.configureEach {
  if( name.contains(specificName)) {
	  enabled = false

  }
}

…calling configureEach on all tasks isn’t often used, but is appropriate in this case. Skips matching the type of each task (which will be a Task anyhow).

Turns out rolling this yourself isn’t all that much code:

Copy code

fun TaskCollection<Task>.lazyMatch(
    predicate: (Task).() -> Boolean,
    action: Action<Task>
) {
    configureEach {
        if (predicate(this)) {
            action.execute(this)
        }
    }
}

Copy code

tasks.lazyMatch({ name.contains("foo") }) {
            enabled = false
        }
