    - #### withPropertyName

          TaskOutputFilePropertyBuilder withPropertyName(String propertyName)

      Sets the name for this property. The name must be a non-empty string.

        `withPropertyName` in interface `TaskFilePropertyBuilder`

    - #### optional

          TaskOutputFilePropertyBuilder optional()

      Marks a task property as optional. This means that a value does not have to be specified for the property, but any value specified must meet the validation constraints for the property.

    - #### optional

          TaskOutputFilePropertyBuilder optional(boolean optional)

      Sets whether the task property is optional. If the task property is optional, it means that a value does not have to be specified for the property, but any value specified must meet the validation constraints for the property.

    - #### upToDateWhen

    - #### upToDateWhen

          @Deprecated
          void upToDateWhen(Spec<? super Task> upToDateSpec)
