What’s the difference between named() and getByName() ? Seems to be interchangeable in usage. This is in NamedDomainObjectCollection.java

[Marc Knaup]

Afaik one is lazy and one isn’t. But I always forget which one is which 😅

[octylFractal]

named() will lazily create the object only when you call .get() on the provider, getByName() will eagerly create

[octylFractal]

for many things it doesn't matter, but IMO it doesn't hurt to always use named() if possible

Gotcha. Thanks @octylFractal @Marc Knaup
