However, I’m getting this

```hello ➤ ./gradlew hello                                                                                                                                                                       

&gt; Configure project :
Finding dep: this should be overridden
Finding dep: this should be overridden

&gt; Task :hello
hey, I did it```

my goal is to be able to have an extension to be able to set some values that I can pass along to the build files in my project

trick is to avoid calling `project.rootProject.extra["message"] = extension.message.get()`- let the framework (Gradle internals) do that when needed, or do it yourself inside a task at execution time (as the latter `get()` call)

The issue is I have a task that is setting a bunch of properties in the configuration phase

that’s ok, so long as it avoid calling .get() on the extension - it can grab extension.message and use that to set other properties, flowing the lazy Property/Provider through.

Something like this, where privateRepositories is an extension property passed to a task
```withType&lt;GoTask&gt;().configureEach {
privateRepositories.set(extension.privateRepositories)
}```

nice, it totally worked.

i can just pass `extension.message.get()`  to my task.

thanks again!
