I cannot use tasks.withType<VerificationTask> { } because VerificationTask is an interface unrelated to Task, and the type parameter of withType is constrained to be a subtype of Task

That is unfortunate

I have to resort to this dirty workaround:

tasks.withType(VerificationTask::class.java as Class<Task>) {
        (this as VerificationTask).ignoreFailures = ignoreTestFailures
    }
