Hi folks! I'm probably missing something obvious but - is there a simple way (in a Task action) to convert an arbitrary

java.nio.file.Path

into a

FileTreeElement

? The paths are not guaranteed to point to files within the Gradle project; my interest here is in using a

PatternSet

to filter them, but the spec it creates only operates on

FileTreeElement

instances. Is such a thing even possible with the public API?

Inject an instance of

ObjectFactory

, use its

fileTree

function

🤦
