What does Gradle 'build' task include exactly

LazerBanana :

I have searched on Gradle docs and on the stackoverflow and some other places but I can't find information about what is bundled in this task in depth, or I missed it, if so please point me to the direction.

It comes from java-base plugin, right?
Running gradle -q tasks doesn't say much about it.

build - Assembles and tests this project.

Running gradle help --task build shows detailed info, ok - but it show where the task is used, in which groups is included, type of a task, and paths.
I have tried to track manually what does comes with it, and noticed, compile, test etc tasks.

I would like to know what exactly comes from Gradle build task, what are the task dependencies.

lance-java :

You can use the Gradle Task Tree Plugin to see the task dependencies

eg:

plugins {
    id "com.dorongold.task-tree" version "1.3.1"
}

Then run

gradle build taskTree

Output
