When resolving names in the build script, project properties set with -P take
precedence over task names. So, if you have a property called 'notify' and a
task called 'notify', then
notify.onlyIf { ... }
will attempt to call onlyIf() on the value of the property called 'notify'.
Which fails because that value is a String.
Instead, you might do:
tasks.notify.onlyIf { ... }
Or give the property a different name.
