Avoiding task configuration doesn't work

[vanbv]

tasks {
    val needsSecrets by registering(GetVaultSecretTask::class) {
        // The task will always be configured
        throw RuntimeException()
    }
}

If you execute gradle build, there will always be an error. Expected result: when using gradle build creating it leads to an error, but registering does not. registering should only lead to an error when the task is called directly.
