Hello everyone, and thanks for Gradle and especially the tooling API, neat work.

I was wondering if it was possible to get the outputs the task declared when dealing with the tooling API.

So far I just managed to get task name, description, whether it’s public or not, etc.

But maybe I can (safely ?) cast the GradleTask object into another class (say WithOutputsGradleTask) ? Idk :\

If it’s not possible yet, but just a matter of hands to write the code, I can open an issue and work on it, np 😄

Thanks alot.
