Merging different buildType tasks name of Gradle

Question

Following https://stackoverflow.com/a/48494454/3286489, I could now run the linting tasks (both in CLI and run in Android Studio) before compile my app.

My code as below.

android {
//....
    lintOptions {
        abortOnError true
    }
}

tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
    if (task.name == 'compileDebugSources' || task.name == 'compileReleaseSources') {
        task.dependsOn lint
        task.mustRunAfter lint
    }
}

However I dislike

task.name == 'compileDebugSources' || task.name == 'compileReleaseSources'

Is there a way to combine them and still get it working?

You could use a regex :

tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
    if (task.name.matches('compile(.*)Sources')) {
        task.dependsOn lint
        task.mustRunAfter lint
    }
}
