Isn't

withPathSensitivity(NAME_ONLY)

what you are after?

Maybe? What I want Gradle to do is only take in to account the file names when fingerprinting the input. My understanding is that on its own

inputs.files(…)

will fingerprint contents (and presumably paths)… but doesn’t care about ordering of the files. The javadoc for

withPathSenstivity()

seems a little vague to me - it implies that

NAME_ONLY

still considers the file contents… but then what does

NONE

do?

NONE

only considers the contents, completely ignoring the file path and name

It is almost never what you want. :-D

I used it once for a task that is validating contents of files, where I don't care whether the file is renamed, because the content would still be valid or not

So when fingerprinting the inputs, you really want to only fingerprint the name of the file, but not the contents?

Vampire

Then

inputs.files

is wrong, it will always fingerprint the contents which usually makes sense

If you really just want the filename because you do not even read the contents, use

inputs.property

and give it the file name(s)

Chris

02/15/2023, 5:51 PM

okay - that makes sense

Chris

02/15/2023, 5:51 PM

so the answer to my question as stated is what you said… but the code was never doing what I wanted in the first place
