How to override the task in the subproject?

[diguage]

I created a submodule in the spring framework project. The spring framework project uses the plugin to convert the manual document to HTML and PDF. I want to follow the spring framework project to use the plugin to deal with my document.

The global config is as following:

asciidoctor {
    baseDirFollowsSourceDir()
    configurations 'asciidoctorExt'
    sources {
        include '*.adoc'
    }
    outputDir "$buildDir/docs/ref-docs/html5"
    logDocuments = true
    resources {
        from(sourceDir) {
            include 'images/*.png', 'css/**', 'js/**'
        }
        from extractDocResources
    }
}

The submodule task is as following:

asciidoctor {
    baseDirIsProjectDir()
    sourceDir  file('docs')
    sources {
        include '*.adoc'
    }
    outputDir "$buildDir/docs/html5"
//    outputDir  file('build/docs/html5')
    logDocuments = true
    resources {
        from(sourceDir) {
            include 'images/*.png', 'css/**', 'js/**'
        }
//      from extractDocResources
    }
    into 'build/docs/html5/assets'
}

I need to override the global task, but it always throws an error. The log is as following:

How to override the global task?

And I would really appreciate it that if you can show me some examples of how to use the plugin, and it would be better if you can add the examples to the document of the plugin. All the users of the plugin will thank you for the examples in the document.

Hi! Did you solve this issue? I need to do something similar as well.

[diguage]

@sebastianzillessen No.

[ysb33r]

Please try 4.0.0-alpha.1 and tell me if the problem still exists

[sebastianzillessen]

Hi @ysb33r ,

yes, with the updated version it works! When are you planning on releasing it?

Thanks, Seb

[ysb33r]

@sebastianzillessen I am not sure yet.

There are a still some things we would like to fix before release. We would also prefer to release it with the final version of Grolifant 2.0.0 rather than an alpha version of it.

I test it, it is OK. Thanks!

But the file is OK:

$ dot -V
dot - graphviz version 7.1.0 (20230121.1956)
