yea, Gradle is finnicky about captured variables. Try with this variation:

tasks.register<GenerateSchemaTask>(graphql) {
  val profile = providers.gradleProperty("profile")
  onlyIf(profile.map { it != "ci" })
  schema(file("./src/datastore.graphqls"))
  federatedSchemaOut(file("./src/main/resources/schema/federated.graphqls"))
  workingDir = file("../../")
  commandLine = mutableListOf("yarn", "generate:graphql")
}

that works, thanks

As you now evaluate the provider directly during configuration phase, you could also use traditional way of reading it, btw. And please, don't ping random people just to get an answer faster, that is pretty rude in practically every community. We are not paid supporters, just users like you. If you want to have more focused people having a look, use an appropriate channel like in this case #C013WEPGQF9

I think

onlyIf { profile.isPresent }

is better, the provider is evaluated as late as possible

Indeed for configuration cache reuse it is better, yes.
