Calling setReleaseAssets function on the GithubReleaseTask causes build to fail.

[abhishekdewan101]

In our app we are trying to set the release assets using the setReleaseAssets function call on the GithubReleaseTask prior to running the task. We do this using the following way:

where GH_RELEASE_TASK_NAME = "githubRelease"

When this code runs we are seeing the task fail with the following error

Are we not suppose to use this api in this way? Is there a way to set the release asset not during the configuration phase ?
