configuration cache with included build causes --profile unable to create directory

[mathjeff]

Expected Behavior

If I run a build that uses an included build, has configuration caching enabled, and uses the --profile argument, I'd like the process of generating the profile report to succeed.

Current Behavior

Currently if I do the above, I observe that Gradle says it cannot create the report directory:

Could not stop build 'doclava'.
org.gradle.api.UncheckedIOException: Could not write to file 'reports/profile/profile-1969-12-31-19-00-00.html'.
	at org.gradle.internal.IoActions$TextFileWriterIoAction.execute(IoActions.java:152)
	at org.gradle.internal.IoActions$TextFileWriterIoAction.execute(IoActions.java:127)
	at org.gradle.internal.IoActions.writeTextFile(IoActions.java:45)
...
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Unable to create directory 'reports/profile'
	at org.gradle.internal.IoActions$TextFileWriterIoAction.execute(IoActions.java:142)

Context

This makes it slightly more difficult to enable configuration caching in androidx ( https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/ )

Steps to Reproduce

See https://github.com/mathjeff/gradle-samples/tree/master/included-build-configuration-cache-profile

Your Environment

Build scan URL: https://scans.gradle.com/s/22l2n2jlpv5ac

Note that the failure is in generating the profile report file, which happens after publishing the build scan, and so the build scan might not mention the failure to create the profile report file

[mathjeff]

Also interesting, if I run mkdir reports, that seems to cause the build to succeed

[mathjeff]

It seems that in this situation, Gradle is trying to put the reports into ./reports whereas it would be nice for them to go into something more like ${rootProject.buildDir}/reports

I'm seeing this same problem in another script where i run the profile multiple times.

I think the real issue in my case is the date 1969-12-31-19-00-00 seems like maybe it is unable to read the date properly? (also, it happens in the second invocation).

A build scan was not published as you have not authenticated with server 'ge.androidx.dev'.

FWIW, in the IntelliJ debugger, I see that the canonical path for 'reports/profile' resolves to '~/.gradle/daemon/7.4.2/reports/profile' and the mkdirs() call below fails with the exception.

                File parentFile = file.getParentFile();
                if (parentFile != null) {
                    if (!parentFile.mkdirs() && !parentFile.isDirectory()) {
                        throw new IOException(String.format("Unable to create directory '%s'", parentFile));
                    }
                }

Same here

Hi, same here.
But I created reports/profile manually in the folder where I run ./gradlew from.
So the report was successfully created, though Gradle reported it was created in ~/.gradle/daemon/7.6/reports/profile/profile-1969-12-31-20-00-00.html

Any ideas?

[jandry]

Still same issue today using gradle 8.3

[franckrasolo]

Likewise with Gradle 8.6

With reports directory exist, this error could be avoided, but it seems the report content also not correct.
