@bamboo any thoughts on the issues I mentioned last night?
What I’m basically looking to do is add an exec task to a plugin which is based on the value of an extension, but the command line args are being resolved before the extension value is set

You can set the commandLine on doFirst { ... }

sweet, that works

@Test
    fun `it sets the image`() {
        project.extensions.getByType(MyExtension::class.java).dockerRepository = "<http://myregistry.com/some/repo|myregistry.com/some/repo>"

        val buildDockerImage = project.tasks.getByName("buildDockerImage") as Exec

        //Run the `doFirst`
        val action = buildDockerImage.actions[0] as Action<Task>
        action.execute(buildDockerImage)
        
        assertThat(buildDockerImage.commandLine)
                .containsExactly("docker", "build", "-t", "<http://myregistry.com/some/repo|myregistry.com/some/repo>", "docker")
    }

testing it is a little bit janky

but it works

newer versions of Gradle have the Provider and PropertyState types, which might help too
