I'm trying to register a task in the root module to call tasks in a submodule,

tasks.register("jib") {
    dependsOn(tasks.named(":lp-server-deploy:jib"))
}

but I'm getting this error.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'lp-server-root'.
> Could not create task ':jib'.
   > Task with name ':lp-server-deploy:jib' not found in root project 'lp-server-root'.

named should evaluate lazily, but I feel like the dependsOn might be forcing it to resolve early.

But why? When you call jib it will execute task with this name in all modules

yes, and why would I want to create a docker image for all modules. I only want it for my runnable module. Therefore I only apply it to the runnable module, but I want to be able to run the task from the root module.
