I wanted to do something like tasks.register(CustomTask) and just override the name in my CustomTask

CustomTask doesn't have name, it's just task class, so you cannot override name for it

[gildor]

But, if you have some extension that should be configured for every task of this type (you may have multiple tasks of the same type), you can use tasks.withType(CustomTask) {}

Indeed, I was trying to override getName but it doesn’t work as I expected. I guess defining the name outside of the task makes more sense. Thanks @gildor

Yeah, actual task name assigned when you create (aka register) your task in tasks graph, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to register them multiple times or with different name
