Because I can’t get a

RegularFile

from a

String

out of the

ValueSource

API - I’m using the

String

s from these gradle properties as input to the

Sync

task instead of the files themselves. I don’t know why, but when I re-use the config cache and I manually delete the input or output files, the

Sync

task skips execution due to

NO-SOURCE

. This only happens when the config cache is re-used. The inputs to the

Sync

task are still the same

String

values (as the gradle properties that create that

String

value have not changed, but the input files are deleted. Additionally, manually deleting the output (

into(..)

) folder of the

Sync

task has the

NO-SOURCE

problem too.
