Instrumentation doesn't intercept calls to super methods

[mlopatkin]

Current Behavior

Calls to the interceptable methods (like File.isFile) of the base class are not intercepted in descendants if called through super.

Expected Behavior

All calls to the interceptable methods are intercepted.

Context (optional)

The user may e.g. bypass the configuration cache input detection by implementing a custom File subclass.

Steps to Reproduce

With the following plugin in buildSrc:

import org.gradle.api*;
import java.io.*;

public class SneakyPlugin implements Plugin<Project> {
    private static class MyFile extends File {
        public MyFile(File parent, String child) { super(parent, child); }

        @Override public boolean isFile() { return super.isFile(); }
    }
    public void apply(Project project) {
        MyFile f = new MyFile(project.getProjectDir(), "build.gradle");
        System.out.println("my file is " + f.isFile());
    }
}

And the build script:

apply plugin: SneakyPlugin

Just run gradle --configuration-cache --info help and check the inputs in the report.

Gradle version

All, up to 8.9
