"a cache", the question is what do you cache?

i'm caching the .gradle directory, which is where the gradlew zip gets stored

Which

.gradle

directory?

sorry i'm being useless. i appreciate the help.

GRADLE_USER_HOME

is set to

~/.gradle

so for now the entire directory is cached, which includes

.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-6.7.1-bin

upon looking manually at the cache, yet it still gets re-downloaded

Hm, then it's indeed strange. Maybe

--info

or

--debug

output can give you further hints.

i am currently running with

-i

but it didn't seem to give me much. I just cloned the gradle repo and i'm going to add debug statements to the files that make up the wrapper.jar and use that custom one to see what it's thinking

Me? No

It seems like the issue may be with gitlab-ci configs itself, and not gradle!

@Chase Pollock i am seeing the same behaviour with my gitlab/gradle setup. could you provide some details on how you resolved it?
