# forTasks

abstract fun forTasks(tasks: Array<String>): BuildActionExecuter<T>(source)

Specifies the tasks to execute before executing the BuildAction.

If not configured or a null array, then no tasks will be executed. If an empty array, the default tasks for the build will be executed.

If the target Gradle version is >=6.8 then you can execute tasks from included builds. You can target tasks from included builds by specifying the task identity path (i.e. `':included-build-name:subproject-name:taskName'`).

#### Return

this
