Org.gradle.api.internal.file.copy.CopySpecWrapper_Decorated cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.internal.file.copy.CopySpecInternal

With the follow code:

    def spec = copySpec {
        with libs
    }

I receive the follow exception. This sounds me a bug.

Where is libs coming from in this case? I assume the result of something like from { }?

Yes, it come from a into{} or a from{}. The target is to use a large and complex CopySpec definition in two tasks.

In that case you’ll need to define that CopySpec using copySpec { } and then use it in both places via with().
