Method Detail

matching

TaskCollection<T> matching(Spec<? super T> spec)

Returns a collection which contains the objects in this collection which meet the given specification. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection.

Specified by:

matching in interface DomainObjectCollection<T extends Task>

Specified by:

matching in interface NamedDomainObjectCollection<T extends Task>

Specified by:

matching in interface NamedDomainObjectSet<T extends Task>

Parameters:

spec - The specification to use.

Returns:

The collection of matching objects. Returns an empty collection if there are no such objects in this collection.

matching

TaskCollection<T> matching(Closure closure)

Returns a collection which contains the objects in this collection which meet the given closure specification. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection.

Specified by:

matching in interface DomainObjectCollection<T extends Task>

Specified by:

matching in interface NamedDomainObjectCollection<T extends Task>

Specified by:

matching in interface NamedDomainObjectSet<T extends Task>

Parameters:

closure - The specification to use. The closure gets a collection element as an argument.

Returns:

The collection of matching objects. Returns an empty collection if there are no such objects in this collection.

getByName

T getByName(String name,
            Closure configureClosure)
                         throws UnknownTaskException

Locates an object by name, failing if there is no such object. The given configure closure is executed against the object before it is returned from this method. The object is passed to the closure as it's delegate.

Specified by:

getByName in interface NamedDomainObjectCollection<T extends Task>

Parameters:

name - The object name

configureClosure - The closure to use to configure the object.

Returns:

The object with the given name, after the configure closure has been applied to it. Never returns null.

Throws:

UnknownTaskException

getByName

T getByName(String name)
                         throws UnknownTaskException

Locates an object by name, failing if there is no such object.

Specified by:

getByName in interface NamedDomainObjectCollection<T extends Task>

Parameters:

name - The object name

Returns:

The object with the given name. Never returns null.

Throws:

UnknownTaskException

withType

<S extends T> TaskCollection<S> withType(Class<S> type)

Returns a collection containing the objects in this collection of the given type. The returned collection is live, so that when matching objects are later added to this collection, they are also visible in the filtered collection.

Specified by:

withType in interface DomainObjectCollection<T extends Task>

Specified by:

withType in interface NamedDomainObjectCollection<T extends Task>

Specified by:

withType in interface NamedDomainObjectSet<T extends Task>

Parameters:

type - The type of objects to find.

Returns:

The matching objects. Returns an empty collection if there are no such objects in this collection.

whenTaskAdded

Action<? super T> whenTaskAdded(Action<? super T> action)

Adds an Action to be executed when a task is added to this collection.

Parameters:

action - The action to be executed

Returns:

the supplied action

whenTaskAdded

void whenTaskAdded(Closure closure)

Adds a closure to be called when a task is added to this collection. The task is passed to the closure as the parameter.

Parameters:

closure - The closure to be called

getAt

T getAt(String name)
                     throws UnknownTaskException

Locates an object by name, failing if there is no such task. This method is identical to NamedDomainObjectCollection.getByName(String). You can call this method in your build script by using the groovy [] operator.

Specified by:

getAt in interface NamedDomainObjectCollection<T extends Task>

Parameters:

name - The object name

Returns:

The object with the given name. Never returns null.

Throws:

UnknownTaskException
