I created a small utility to run some command within a plugin

```context(project: Project)
operator fun String.invoke(): String {
    val output = ByteArrayOutputStream()
    project.providers.exec {
        commandLine(split(Regex("\\s+")))
        standardOutput = output
    }
    return output.toString().trim()
}```
but whenever I try to execute some command, I do get
> An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'io.github.theapache64.korduino.gradle', version: '0.0.1']
> > Failed to apply plugin 'io.github.theapache64.korduino.gradle'.
>    > Could not create provider for value source ProcessOutputValueSource.

this seems working though

```    return project.providers.exec {
        commandLine("pwd")
    }.standardOutput.asText.get()```


If you would enable `--stacktrace` you would probably get a clear error that you must not set `standardOutput` when using `providers.exec`.
