Hi,
Consider this…
task copy(type: Copy) {
from('content', 'images') {
into('build/texts')
}
}
Error:
* What went wrong:
Circular dependency between the following tasks:
:copy
\--- :copy (*)
See it? Had me stumped for a while.
The problem here is that the closure is not treated as configuration, but
rather as a source… and the into() method returns `this`.
This is kinda tricky to solve. There's no way to know what the user intends.
The only thing I can think to do here is not allow a closure as the last arg on
from(Object...). That means that if you try and do:
task copy(type: Copy) {
into('build/texts')
from 'content', 'images', { someLazyFileProperty }
}
You are going to get an error saying you can't do that, and you'll have to move
the {} to a different parameter position. Kinda nasty, but better that the
confusing behaviour we have now.
