Android build fails with Gradle Configuration Cache

[pvegh]

Description

Using Configuration Cache our build seems to fail with this error:

Could not evaluate onlyIf predicate for task ':react-native-gesture-handler:assertNoMultipleInstances'.
> Could not evaluate spec for 'Task satisfies onlyIf closure'.

The problem seems to be something in Gesture Handler not being correctly defined around here:

tasks.preBuild {
// dependsOn assertionTask // this fixes the problem so it must be with assertionTask not being compatible
}

Steps to reproduce

1. enable CC with:
   org.gradle.unsafe.configuration-cache=true
2. Run app in Android Studio

And the first launch seems to work, but the second launch throws above exception. So when the config cache would be used the problem occures.

Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snack or a link to a GitHub repository under your username that reproduces the problem?

Sorry I can't build a reproducer. It is as simple as enable build cache and keep using a project with RNGH in Android Studio.
Also using Gradle 7.6, it might help.

I'm experiencing the same issue!

The workaround is just to delete the cache. I'm not sure what a fix would mean.

[pvegh]

Deleting the config cache defies the purpose of enabling it, so it's not an option.

The fix will be a mix of using APIs that supported in that environment, supporting the caching logic decide what can be reused and what needs to be re-run, and to stop using things that completely break the build when CC is enabled.

As a first step changes should be made to simply not break the whole build (by the looks of it it's what #2453 is doing).
Later some actual caching could be implemented, if applicable, to save time for every execution.
