Hi Team, My name is Fo and I found this amazing community yesterday. I am writing a custom Gradle/Develocity plugin. When I designed my plugin, I was using

project

during execution of task, however, I learnt (this article) that I can't access

project

and

configuration

during execution of a task. Therefore, I changed my design to retrieve all files before execution of my task, and pass those files as an input my task. Now the problem is, when I have several modules in an Android project, Gradle sync throws this error.

An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'com.android.library']
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.library'.
   > Gradle#projectsEvaluated(Action) on build 'MyTestAndroidProject' cannot be executed in the current context.

I searched around and I can't find any good resource to understand what is a good practice to access files of a dependency and when to access these files, if you have any idea how to solve it, I would appreciate it if you point me in a direction. My stacktrace is:

* Exception is:

	at org.gradle.configuration.BuildOperationScriptPlugin.apply(BuildOperationScriptPlugin.java:62)

fter further investigation, I found out that when I am registering my task, I am accessing

compileConfiguration

to get all files of my compile dependencies. However, this part is throwing this exception. This is part of my stacktrace.

Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.
org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.ErrorHandlingConfigurationResolver.wrapException(ErrorHandlingConfigurationResolver.java:107)
org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.ErrorHandlingConfigurationResolver.resolveGraph(ErrorHandlingConfigurationResolver.java:78)

P.S. Since stacktraces are long, I just try to upload the part that is meaningful.
