hello, I'm writing custom task that accepts as input some file. I'd like to provide an option to pass it through command line (which I guess requires String) and also allow to set the file directly through DSL. Currently I expose those as two separate properties ->

// set from command line
@Input
@Optional
@Option(option = "targetFileName", description = "target file")
val targetFileName: Property<String> = project.objects.property(String::class.java)

// set from DSL
@Input
@Optional
val targetFile: RegularFileProperty = project.objects.fileProperty()

Is there a better way? If not, is there a way to hide targetFileName from the DSL?

perhaps marking it as internal will be sufficient? that makes it public in the JVM, but KDSL won't see it. I don't know about groovy dsl

nope, by using internal I got an exception about missing getter

guess there is no harm in having both of those options available in build.gradle
