Losing Input Key Presses on OSX when running via gradle run

[xasmx]

Expected Behavior

I'm running a simple Java application via gradle and piping the output to less: 'gradle run | less'.
My application produces lots of output and I'd expect to be able to scroll up and down in the output within less.

Current Behavior

Every other of my key presses seem to disappear. Normally, I'd expect to press the enter key once to get less to go one row down and to press the space key once to get less to go one screen down. Instead, because every other key press disappears, I'll have to press enter twice or press space twice for this to occur.

When the application is ran directly without 'gradle run' and piped to less, everything works as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

Extract the attached archive and run the application with 'gradle run | less'

Your Environment

Gradle 7.2
Macbook Pro 2019, running Big Sur 11.4.
Java version: openjdk 17 2021-09-14
Running on standard osx Terminal and zsh.

Could you pls. check what happens if you run gradle with the --console plain option?

[xasmx]

The same problem happens when running with --console plain.

Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you for providing a valid report.

The issue is in the backlog of the relevant team, but this area of Gradle is currently not a focus one, so it might take a while before a fix is made.

This issue is still reproducible with Gradle 8.3-rc-3, both with --console=plain and without it.

Note that it would be useful to add Thread.sleep to reproducer loop to avoid getting OOM error.
