From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

ideally, I’d like the `ValidateInputsTask` task to run first thing in the execution phase, rather that waiting for a long build and fail just before the `SyncTask` runs

```tasks.configureEach {
    shouldRunAfter(validateInputs)
}```


But regarding the "`get()` at configuration time" you didn't show any.

What you showed does a `get()` in `doFirst { ... }` which is execution phase

it’s technically executed in the execution phase, but Gradle does the following:

```Calculating task graph as configuration cache cannot be reused because a build logic input of type 'GitHashActualValueSource' has changed.```

Well, not because of that `get()`, because that's at execution phase

But actually, you could still improve that place and use task configuration avoidance :slightly_smiling_face:
