``` val buildDockerImage by creating(Exec::class) { commandLine(...

# gradle

val buildDockerImage by creating(Exec::class) {
                    commandLine("docker", "build", "-t", ${someExtension.somePropertyState},, dockerDirectory)
                    doLast{println("executed $commandLine")}
                }

I’m trying to figure out how to lazily set an argument in this exec task from a propertystate, but it’s evaluating too early.
Am I missing something?

[fitzoh]

awesome, thanks for the heads up 👍

@fitzoh yeah, gradle-docker-plugin is the best option.
But as solution for your original code, you can use afterEvaluate block to configure task after all other configs processed

[fitzoh]

Yeah, I got that working with some help from @\bamboo, just had to set the commandLine in doFirst

That works.
Glad you got it working.
