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.
