If you only want to add task to task inputs use something like this:

tasks.named("someTask") {
  inputs.dir(layout.projectDirectory.dir("src/main/my-files")) // could also be file(Any)/files(Any)
    .withPathSensitivity(PathSensitivity.RELATIVE)
    .ignoreEmptyDirectories()
    .skipWhenEmpty()
}

Thank you! I'll try that.
