I'm trying to update a project to Android Studio 3.
The following snippet is no longer accepted in a build.gradle file.
applicationVariants.all { variant ->
variant.outputs.each { out ->
def oFile =out.outputFile // This line causes failure
//...
}
}
The error is a simple "Not Valid" yet the intellisense suggests it is as it autocompletes fine.
Checking the idea.log shows the following exception:
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Not valid.

I can find no documentation on Gradle 4. Would this be a bug or a function that is deprecated perhaps?
