You can pass providers to the

FileCollection

factory methods or

from()

, so:

project.files(myProvider)

I guess it should be documented somewhere, it took me a while to figure it out when I needed it.

One issue I am still hitting that

Provider<*>

is queried on configuration phase and not on execution:

@get:Input
val scriptExtensions: SetProperty<String> = ...

@get:InputFiles
@get:SkipWhenEmpty
@get:IgnoreEmptyDirectories
@get:PathSensitive(PathSensitivity.RELATIVE)
internal open val scriptSources: FileCollection = objectFactory.fileCollection().from(scriptExtensions.map { if(it.isEmpty()) emptySet() else scriptFiles.matching { ... } })
