Hi guys, my gradle script suddenly is failing to find any methods

file release.gradle

def devBranch = 'qa'

task codeFreeze() {
    group 'Release'
    description 'Fork release branch of dev branch and bump the version of current dev branch'

    doLast {
        assertCurrentBranchIs(devBranch)
     ...
   }
}

private assertCurrentBranchIs(String branchName) {
    ...
}

This used to work just fine but now it gives error

Could not find method assertCurrentBranchIs() for arguments [qa] on task ':codeFreeze' of type org.gradle.api.DefaultTask

I deleted my ~/.gradle directory and synced again but still same issue. I am on gradle version 8.5

Exactly. And besides that, legacy script plugins (the things you apply with "apply from") have quite some other quirks anyway and are quite discouraged. 😉

Ya I know but this is quite a legacy codebase 🙂

Did you degrade CC errors to warnings? Because that often causes confusing errors like things being

null

or methods not being found as the actual error was degraded to a warning, but of course still causes a failure then at runtime.

Ya we have set the failures to warn for now.

Then don't wonder about strange behavior or misbehavior, loudly as well as silently.
