jibDockerBuild Gradle task fails (band aid applied)

[climategadgets]

Action Taken

./gradlew jibDockerBuild

Expected Behavior

A Docker image is built.

Actual Behavior

Build fails with a message pointing out to configuration cache problems (see below)

Root Cause

Configuration cache is not supported by Jib, see GoogleContainerTools/jib#3132
Interestingly enough, that issue was created on 2021-03-12, 1681 days as of the moment of writing. 👀🍿

Workaround

./gradlew jibDockerBuild --no-configuration-cache

Error Message

As of rev. fe758b1:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:hcc-springboot:jibDockerBuild'.
> Invocation of 'Task.project' by task ':app:hcc-springboot:jibDockerBuild' at execution time is unsupported with the configuration cache.

[climategadgets]

Rev. cc83ef5 disables the use of the configuration cache for jibDockerPlugin task so the problem doesn't break the build anymore, however, this may not be sufficient when Gradle 10 comes, reason being documented here: https://blog.gradle.org/road-to-gradle-9#configuration-cache-improvements

Leaving the issue open for now, it would be interesting to see how soon the root cause will be fixed.
