intellij informs me that i could convert the following into a lambda (what i'd really like to do):

tasks.withType(Test::class).configureEach(object : Action<Test> {
        override fun execute(it: Test) {
            it.outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
        }
    })

Yet when i do it manually or let intellij do it for with following result:

tasks.withType(Test::class).configureEach {
        it.outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
    }

It complains that

it

is undefined. Any idea why?

configureEach

takes

T.() -> Unit

, so you can just do

outputs.upToDateWhen { ... }

without the

it

ahh! indeed! thank you! But "Got to delcaration" is REALLY misleading here, because it leads to the variant of

configureEach

that takes an

Action

as argument 😕

All

Action

lambdas in Gradle use receiver instead of

it

.

ah! good to know, thanks

I think you can see

@ImplicitReceiver

annotations on such types.
