When using ".tap" the block executes right away (typically while 'parsing' the buildfile). When using "task ... do" the block will execute if/when the task executes (and after all previously defined logic on the task) so if you're configuring the task, it's already too late because the gist of the task execution has already happened. alex PS: Yes, the .tap method is the same behavior as Kernel#tap.
