Yes, I ran the task twice

The documentation is correct. That setting works in 8.2. Furthermore, both work for the time being. Are you actually running Gradle 8.2? (

./gradlew --version

)

Never mind, my task were failing. I was backing on an old feature that 7.6.1 had that it would cache tasks that would even fail in the execution phase, but pass on configuration phase. Apparently this is not the case for 8.2

Yes, configuration should be cached, even if execution failed, unless I'm majorly wrong.
