Gradle configuration cache support

[artemptushkin]

Environment:

• Jib version: 3.4.0
• Build tool: Gradle 8.6
• OS: apple M1 macbook

Description of the issue:

The job task fails running if configuration cache is enabled, regardless or the warnings, i.e. in warn enabled we expect it to be logged but not error should be.

If with the same configuration you switch back the configuration cache to false it works.

The core error:

Cannot invoke "org.gradle.api.Project.getProjectDir()" because "this.project" is null

Expected behavior:

The build passes if no unrelated issues

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable Gradle configuration cache with warn:

# gradle.properties

org.gradle.configuration-cache=true
org.gradle.configuration-cache.problems=warn

2. Run jib task e.g. ./gradlew jib

jib-gradle-plugin Configuration:

jib {
    container {
        mainClass = "x.y.z.FooKt"
    }
    from {
        image = "eclipse-temurin:21-jre"
    }
}

Log output:

> Task :distribution:jib FAILED
10 problems were found storing the configuration cache, 2 of which seem unique.
- Task `:distribution:jib` of type `com.google.cloud.tools.jib.gradle.BuildImageTask`: cannot deserialize object of type 'org.gradle.api.Project' as these are not supported with the configuration cache.
  See https://docs.gradle.org/8.6/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:requirements:disallowed_types
- Task `:distribution:jib` of type `com.google.cloud.tools.jib.gradle.BuildImageTask`: 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.

Additional information

Another day I created an issue in Gradle but they closed it with the documentation update because the failure is only in the plugin itself and unrelated to Gradle

[sschuberth]

Duplicate of #3132? (Which interestingly has a different priority than this issue.)

[artemptushkin]

@sschuberth yes indeed, it's a duplicate

closing in favour of #3132
