what is the best way to access a service from a WorkAction?

<https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_services.html#using_a_build_service_with_the_worker_api>

when i tried putting the service as a parameter to the work action, it didnt work, and the error seemed like it was due to not being serializable, but i could be wrong on that

Maybe you've bumped into <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/17559>? BuildServices and classloaders do not mix super well

i have hit that one before, this was something else. I wanted to use StyledTextOutputFactory.  I ended up just serializing my data, then reading it back in a separate task that uses StyledTextOutputFactory not within a work action
