Running a plugin built with 2.x, I get this error:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskInputs.files([Ljava/lang/Object;)Lorg/gradle/api/tasks/TaskInputs;

it looks like its because the return type changed for files.

Here is the relevant code for the issue:

static Task forkingTask(Project project, Checkstyle checkstyle, File checkstyleConfig, File outputXmlReport) {
    def forked = project.tasks.create("forked${checkstyle.name.capitalize()}") { Task task ->
      def javaSourceDataFile = new File(project.buildDir, "$task.name-input-files.txt")

      task.inputs.files(checkstyle.source) //<--- line 28
      task.inputs.dir(checkstyleConfig.parentFile) //so that all checkstyle configuration files are inputs
      //outputs configured elsewhere (not very nice)

I’ve fixed the issue by converting the class from an inline one into a real task with defined inputs and outputs by annotation.

Thanks again for continuing to test Gradle 3.0.

I’ve added GRADLE-3507 for this.

Cheers,
