Errors running detekt in the detekt project

[BraisGabin]

Letely when I use ./gradlew detekt in the detekt project itself I'm getting some flaky behaviour. Sometimes it works (it finds the issues if there are any) and sometimes fails with different errors:

Ignoring listeners of task graph ready event, as this build (:detekt-gradle-plugin) has already executed work.
> Task :detekt-api:detekt FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':detekt-api:detekt'.
> JAR entry default-detekt-config.yml not found in /Users/brais/projects/detekt/detekt-cli/build/libs/detekt-cli-1.7.0.jar

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':detekt-api:detekt'.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly (it may have been killed or may have crashed)

I don't get these erros using the same command in other projects.

It seems something related with our configuration to get detekt check itself with the last code.

[arturbosch]

As you already mentioned it is how we bootstrap our self analysis.
With 1.7 we cache the classloader/jars, if we now have any signature changes, the jvm reports corrupted jars...
We could introduce stronger checks than !lastClasspath.minus(classpath).isEmpty for development mode, like md5 hashes?

[3flex]

I'm seeing errors like this too - is there a solution? Reopening for now...

[arturbosch]

Restarting the Gradle daemon helps here gradle --stop && gradle build.
See #2957 and #3047

[BraisGabin]

This error is tracked in #2957 so we can close this one.
