If you run any task from the main build, they are run automatically. If you mean targetedly, then not from the main project directly as long as it is still not a standard included build. If you switch to included build instead of `buildSrc`, it just works. Like it is you can leverage the `-p buildSrc` option to invoke the `buildSrc` build separately, or `cd` into `buildSrc` and use `../gradlew`.

could you explain `-p buildSrc` some more?

``` ./gradlew -p buildSrc :build```
is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

As I said, practically the same as `cd buildSrc; ../gradlew build; cd ..`
