| Description |
|
I have a task that takes some Configuration}}s as its input. The task can't just take {{FileCollection}}s because it has to reason about dependencies. However, annotating the inputs with {{@Input fails because DefaultConfiguration_Decorated isn't serializable. Another potential problem is that Configuration doesn't define equality. |

What's the use case for using @Input instead of @InputFiles? |

The task was operating on the dependency information, not the resolved files. Hence @InputFiles would not have given the correct up-to-date behavior and would have unnecessarily resolved the configuration. I guess one way to overcome this would have been to implement a getter annotated with @Input that captures the dependency information in serializable form. |
