Yeah some of my team’s builds are failing now on account of being uanble to download plugins

Same here ,(
And Gradle sometimes inserts `gradlePluginPortal()` before private Nexus instance, so no luck with private mirror/cache

Would be interesting to know when it does that and then reported as error.
I've never seen that happen and if that is true, it is a bug.
It's not uncommon in bigger companies to be restricted to use only internal repository.
So when you define an internal repository, Gradle should not add the portal back in itself.

I saw relevant ticket somewhere before. See <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/v7.4.0/subprojects/plugin-use/src/main/java/org/gradle/plugin/use/internal/PluginDependencyResolutionServices.java#L117>

I guess I saw this issue: <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/18528>

In my case I add repositories in settings plugin (including private nexus repo): <https://github.com/grossws/private-repo/blob/v0.14.0/src/main/kotlin/ws/gross/gradle/impl/PrivateRepoPluginImpl.kt#L58>

But where does it add the plugin portal when you have own repos defined?
Or is the application of a settings plugin already too late and the plugin portal is already added by then?

I'm not sure when since I apply plugin via settings' plugins block. I'll try to reproduce it on 7.4 but iirc it wasn't deterministic at the first sight

<@URQ797WRW>, it's another chicken&amp;egg problem since gradle has to add plugin portal to resolve my settings plugin first and then I add my repos there. So current behavior is not a bug.

Earlier I added private repos in init script using `beforeSettings` and I think 7.4 wouldn't add plugin portal since `pluginManagement#repositories` will be populated by the time it tries to resolve settings plugins.
