Adding additional logic

Sometimes you may want to add custom logic right after or before a task has been executed. If you want to add some logging before or after the compile task, you can just do this:

compileFlex.doFirst {

println “this gets printed before the compile task starts”

}

compileFlex.doLast {

println “this gets printed after the compile task has been completed”

}
