I'd like to skip some computation based on a timestap. Is there some other way to save this in Gradle other writing it down in a file under

build

, to say? I tried

project.gradle.ext

but it's not persistent

Do you mean avoid re-running a task?

yes/no, I'm running some logic during configuration phase

configuration cache cannot help here?

I have no idea how I can interact with it

I tried

project.gradle.ext

but it's not persistent

Practically any usage of

ext

/

extra

properties is more a sign that you do something not properly but use a work-around. Besides that, writing to a file is probably indeed the way to go
