                   throws IllegalStateException

      Starts executing the action, passing the result to the given handler when complete. This method returns immediately, and the result is later passed to the given handler's `ResultHandler.onComplete(Object)` method.

      If the operation fails, the handler's `ResultHandler.onFailure(GradleConnectionException)` method is called with the appropriate exception. See `run()` for a description of the various exceptions that the operation may fail with.

      Parameters:
        `handler` - The handler to supply the result to.
      Throws:
        `IllegalStateException` - When the connection has been closed or is closing.
