hello! Is there a way to get a

RegularFile

object within a

Settings

object? I’m writing a settings plugin and I was hoping to use the configuration cache friendly providers i.e.

ProviderFactory#fileContents

. These take in a

RegularFile

or a

Provider<RegularFile>

, and I can’t seem to find a way to get an instance of one of those within the

Settings

context. I resorted to just calling

ProviderFactory#of

and passing in the

ValueSourceProvider

that

fileContents

used, and then passed the file in that way as the parameter is just a

FileSystemProperty

. That said, I’m not actually sure whether the configuration cache works at the

Settings

level, but I’ve been trying to have good

Provider

hygiene where possible to ease our configuration cache slog of a migration.

configuration cache skips all phases up to execution, including settings script and init scripts. How about

layout.settingsDirectory.file("asdf")

resp

layout.rootDirectory.file("asdf")

?

ahh, that’s on a newer version of Gradle that we don’t support yet 😢 but good to know for future, that’s exactly what I want
