This makes following the conversation in the threads view very hard as the context of the other messages is missing.
If you have additional information either edit the original message or post to its thread.
Regarding the question, no, you cannot do it. The configuration cache is not yet relocatable and can not yet safely shared like you want it.

10/16/2023, 8:40 AMhttps://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/13510#issuecomment-1015935665 btw, does this method (though hacky) helps to some extent. If both the machines are exactly the same env? For e.g. a docker container?

Just caching and restoring that directory might not be enough.
The official Gradle build GitHub action does some configuration cache caching and restoring, but is only compatible with 8.1 and newer and also has edge cases it seems like only restoring it if the full Gradle user home was restored or something like that. You can have a look at https://github.com/gradle/gradle-build-action/blob/0bfe00a136db5e61ba3416b372542a65863a9fee/src/cache-extract-entries.ts#L344

10/17/2023, 8:51 AMsure, thanks

10/17/2023, 8:54 AMAlso, is there some way to run configuration phase of a task separately than running the entire task?
Aviral Jain
10/17/2023, 8:55 AMWhat I’m trying to think is that if I can’t cache the configuration step, let me run it asynchronously before I run the build command, so that gradle automatically skips the configuration phase when task is run (if the input to configuration remain the same on running build that is)

-m--dry-runa
