We want Gradle's task invalidation logic to rerun tests when the snapshot output directory is changed, which was the motivation behind #206. However, by adding it as an output property, Gradle 8.0 now throws the following error:
Spotless doesn't care about snapshots, and output side effects of a task don't necessarily == task outputs, so this fixes both.
Side note: This change specifically uses
inputs.files(...)
, instead ofinputs.dir(...)
, since the latter requires the folder to exist per Gradle conventions: https://docs.gradle.org/7.6.1/userguide/validation_problems.html#input_file_does_not_exist
