Well, using

afterEvaluate

has the same problems as always, it introduces ordering problems, timing problems, and race conditions. What if you do the

srcDirs()

in an

afterEvaluate

but then

setSrcDirs

is done in a different

afterEvaluate

registered after your one. The order

setSrcDir

and

srcDirs

is executed is simply the order in which you call them, as they are immediately executed. That's like asking how to control the order of

List#clear

and

List#addAll

tasks.

Yep, I would like something with would be more like

update

to unwanted behaviors...

update

then

set

also makes the

update

gone
