OSS Licences Plugin fails with Gradle 8.8

[jakob-grabner]

Describe the bug
After updating to Gradle 8.8 the OssLicensesTask fails to resolve module variants.

Execution failed for task ':running:googleDevelopmentReleaseOssLicensesTask'.

The consumer was configured to find a library for use during runtime, preferably optimized for Android, as well as attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.AgpVersionAttr' with value '8.4.2', attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr' with value 'release', attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.ProductFlavor:environment' with value 'development', attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.ProductFlavor:market' with value 'google', attribute 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type' with value 'androidJvm'. However we cannot choose between the following variants of project :partner-accounts:partner-accounts:
- Configuration ':partner-accounts:partner-accounts:releaseRuntimeElements' variant android-aar-metadata declares a library for use during runtime, preferably optimized for Android, as well as attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.AgpVersionAttr' with value '8.4.2', attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr' with value 'release', attribute 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type' with value 'androidJvm':
- Unmatched attributes:
- Doesn't say anything about com.android.build.api.attributes.ProductFlavor:environment (required 'development')
- Doesn't say anything about com.android.build.api.attributes.ProductFlavor:market (required 'google')
- Provides attribute 'artifactType' with value 'android-aar-metadata' but the consumer didn't ask for it
- Provides attribute 'com.android.build.gradle.internal.attributes.VariantAttr' with value 'release' but the consumer didn't ask for it

To Reproduce

This is a blocker for us as well, it fails on release variant of a module. We cannot downgrade the Gradle version at the moment. Please let us know if there is a plan on fixing this? Thanks

Consider migrating to https://github.com/cashapp/licensee.

Thanks for the tip @Goooler I had a quick look but licensee does not look like a replacement. IT seems to do something different.

You can use the generated JSON file and parse info to show license page like chrisbanes/tivi#1471.
