AsciidoctorPdfTask property 'fontsDir' is missing an input or output annotation

[janmaterne]

Since Gradle 7.0 this is not a warning any more, it's an error which causes the build to break:

• What went wrong: A problem was found with the configuration of task ':asciidoctorPdf' (type 'AsciidoctorPdfTask').

  • In plugin 'org.asciidoctor.jvm.pdf' type 'org.asciidoctor.gradle.jvm.pdf.AsciidoctorPdfTask' property 'fontsDir' is missing an input or output annotation.

  Reason: A property without annotation isn't considered during up-to-date checking.

  Possible solutions:

  1. Add an input or output annotation.
  2. Mark it as @Internal.

  Please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/7.2/userguide/validation_problems.html#missing_annotation for more details about this problem.

https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-gradle-plugin/blob/master/jvm-pdf/src/main/groovy/org/asciidoctor/gradle/jvm/pdf/AsciidoctorPdfTask.groovy sais this property is deprecated and you should use the plural (fontsDirs) instead which is annotated which @InputFiles.

But just the presence of the deprecated field without annotation breaks the build.

With Gradle 6.7.2 it works fine.

I do not have this problem in Gradle 7.4.2 with plugins { 'org.asciidoctor.jvm.pdf' version '3.3.2' }.

Please try 4.0.0-alpha.1 and tell me if the problem still exists.
