From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

Run with `-i` and you can see why a specific task is considered out-of-date.
But actually copying around `.gradle` and `build` directories is maybe not a good idea and defintely not something that is supported afaik.
Maybe you should better leverage a remote build cache to speed up things instead.

there is a limited set of directories that are supported to be copied: <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_management.html#sub:cache_copy>

Which is neither in `.gradle` nor `build`, but in `GRADLE_USER_HOME`  :wink:

Which typically is `~/.gradle`, but he talked about the one in the project directory

And it would not help to get tasks up-to-date as he wants it, as it is basically just the downloaded dependencies iirc

The downloaded dependencies are covered. It's about the tasks now yes

I moved GRADLE_USER_HOME to the project directory, that's why it is there.

So you mix the `GRADLE_USER_HOME` `.gradle` with the project-local `.gradle` in the same directory?
I'm not sure whether that is a good idea.
Sounds like it intentionally asks for breakage. :smile:

Yes it sounded strange when I saw it but it seems to work... apart from the task status then
