I have some code generating task that needs to be performed before compilation. I thought I could achieve this by adding compileDebugKotlin.dependsOn myGenerateTask in my build.gradle but I am getting this error:
Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Could not get unknown property 'compileDebugKotlin' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

I have also tried tasks.getByPath(":app:compileDebugKotlin").dependsOn("myGenerateTask") but it returns a similar error:
Caused by: org.gradle.api.UnknownTaskException: Task with path ':app:compileDebugKotlin' not found in project ':app'.

I know that :app:compileDebugKotlin is executed when running gradle build but I can't access the task from my apps build.gradle. How can I depend on this gradle task in an android project?
