02/04/2025, 9:13 AMWhen should I use the Classpath annotation? I have a cacheable task that uses the worker api with class path isolation so I use an input property (ConfigurableFileCollection) with classpath annotation to allow customizing the classpath, But when I pass a local project/module as classpath, it is only out-of-date when I have public binary changes. And this sounds like a bug...

1. the local module has some function
2. you run the task, and it successfully stores the cache
3. you change module function
4. re-run the task, and it succeeds
5. revert the module function to the original
6. re-run the task, and it's now up-to-date
maybe?

02/04/2025, 10:13 AMYeah, I use a local builder cache and it’s gone when I delete the build cache, but do I need to mark the classpath as input files too? According to the docs, I only need it with Gradle 3 compability.

02/04/2025, 10:17 AMHm, okay, strange. I tried to reproduce it again and now it does work as expected 🫠 but it did fail multiple times in the past until I deleted the cache 🫠
