[FIXED] Run task not found Gradle Java Project in vscode

Issue

There is this Project i am dealing with, you can check it's Git Repository here : Arcore repo

• The Project builds successfully and runs on emulator or physical device while using android Studio .

Problem: I cloned this project and opened it with vscode, and run ./gradlew clean build; this goes as expected!!

• But it seems to always get stack at :

./gradlew run

with "error" run task is not found in the root project

Solution

For Future visitors of this thread, I will answer my Question here:

• As a contribuer stated to implement com.android.application plugin to root build.gradle, this did not implement the application and run task within the root project. Instead the plugin needed simply was:

// root build.gradle
plugins {
    id('application')
}

• Now re-running ./gradlew build does add the run task, provided by the plugin above .
