Artifact published only once, all the subsequent publishing retries are void - since version 4.4.2

[nucatus]

Since version 4.4.2 (inclusive) of the build-info-extractor-gradle plugin, the artifacts are not published to the repository. It works only once, after the gradle cache is purged, and all the consequent publish commands are void, unless you purge the gradle cache again (NOT entirely, but the build-info-extractor-gradle jar). In this case, only a build descriptor is published. (see the attached screenshots)

This happens only with gradle 3.0 though. When gradle 2.14.1 is used, the artifacts are correctly published IF gradle is not ran as daemon. If gradle is running as daemon, the SAME behavior is observed regardless of which gradle version is used.

I tried this with a fresh clone of your example repository. This uses the 4.4.0 version of the plugin, but when using latests versions (4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.4), the defect is observed.
The repository version we are using is Artifactory OSS, 4.7.5 rev 40176

Thank you for reporting this @nucatus,
We've just committed that fixes this issue and created a snapshot version of the plugin with the fix.
Will you be able to try out the snapshot and let us know if it resolves the issue?
You can install the snapshot as follows:

buildscript {
    repositories {  
        maven() {
            url 'https://oss.jfrog.org/artifactory/oss-snapshot-local'
        }               
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:4.4.x-SNAPSHOT"
    }
}

Thanks.

Well, it seems it is fixed in the snapshot. Are these changes in the 4.4.5 release?

[eyalbe4]

No @nucatus, the changes will be included in the next release.
