Incompatible with Gradle Configuration Cache

[vanniktech]

When running ./gradlew dependencyCheckAnalyze --configuration-cache --stacktrace it does succeed however:

13 problems were found storing the configuration cache, 2 of which seem unique.
- Task `:core-microservice:dependencyCheckAnalyze` of type `org.owasp.dependencycheck.gradle.tasks.Analyze`: cannot serialize object of type 'org.gradle.api.internal.project.DefaultProject', a subtype of 'org.gradle.api.Project', as these are not supported with the configuration cache.
  See https://docs.gradle.org/7.6.1/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:requirements:disallowed_types
- Task `:core-microservice:dependencyCheckAnalyze` of type `org.owasp.dependencycheck.gradle.tasks.Analyze`: invocation of 'Task.project' at execution time is unsupported.
  See https://docs.gradle.org/7.6.1/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:requirements:use_project_during_execution

I am using the latest 8.1.2 of this plugin and Gradle 7.6.1

Plugin version 8.3.1 with Gradle 8.1.1 is also failing but with an NPE in AbstractAnalyze task:

My guess is that because config is now marked as transient, it is not deserialized and remains null.

I'm using 8.4.0, and with gradle 8.0.2, and I get:

11 problems were found storing the configuration cache, 1 of which seems unique.

• Task :app:dependencyCheckAnalyze of type org.owasp.dependencycheck.gradle.tasks.Analyze: invocation of 'Task.project' at execution time is unsupported.
  See https://docs.gradle.org/8.0.2/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:requirements:use_project_during_execution

So it looks like the transient modifier got us one step closer...

the same error with gradle 8.6 and latest version 9.0.10, any idea if it will be added at some point ?

[dejwsz]

The same problem with latest gradle 8.7:
