I might remember wrongly, but I mean to remember that this is not a new issue but expected behavior, even if unintuitive.

Is there anyway to override

org.gradle.unsafe.configuration-cache-problems

in the project if the

~/.gradle/gradle.properties

has it set? setting it to empty doesn't have an effect, and it still fails.

Yeah, I remembered correctly. This is the thread I had in mind: https://gradle-community.slack.com/archives/C013WEPGQF9/p1642504611003200 And here the original issue to your duplicate: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/19622 In both Gradle guys say this is by design, because the property says that all problems are treated as warning everywhere and it should just continue.

if that's expected behavior, I think it's the wrong expectation hmm but I kinda get why it would be so 🤔 Gradle should probably improve the error message to make this more clear

Don't tell me, I also thought it is a bug until several Gradle guys said this is by design and expected

basically the combination of

notCompatible...

+ that warning is clearly incompatible. That itself ought to be considered a kind of error

They at least wanted to improve the described implications of the flag in the docs, not sure whether they did already.

Thanks for your quick replies @Vampire. That helps provide context. Hopefully we can get someone from their team to link to an issue/documentation/something calling this behavior out.

Here is the issue they have open to address it: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/20673

And here the documentation with the explicit description: https://docs.gradle.org/7.4.2/javadoc/org/gradle/api/Task.html#notCompatibleWithConfigurationCache-java.lang.String-

The presence of incompatible tasks in the task graph will cause the configuration state to be discarded at the end of the build unless the global

configuration-cache-problems

option is set to

warn

, in which case the configuration state would still be cached in a best-effort manner as usual for the option.
