All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

@Incubating public class InvalidModelRuleException extends GradleException
Thrown when there is a problem with the usage of a model rule.

This exception is different to `InvalidModelRuleDeclarationException` in that it signifies a problem with using a model rule in a particular context, whereas `InvalidModelRuleDeclarationException` signifies a problem with the declaration of the model rule itself (which therefore means that the rule could not be used in any context).

This exception should always have cause, that provides information about the actual problem.
