How can i convert this gradle command to kotlin DSL? I want to set a different working directory for application plugin

`tasks.run` is a `TaskProvider`
you could write:
```kotlin
tasks.run.get().workingDir("some/path")
```
but it would save a bit of configuration time to lazily apply this configuration as follows:
```kotlin
(tasks.run) {
    workingDir("some/path")
}
```
Parentheses around `tasks.run` are required because `tasks.run {}` conflicts with Kotlin stdlib `.run {}` extension.

None of your suggestins are working for me or i don't understand, how to use them. However, i have another solution already
```tasks.getByName&lt;JavaExec&gt;("run")```

ah sorry, I had Gradle 5.0 in mind, with 4.x what you found is good
