After upgrading from gradle 2.3 to 2.4, we started to get the below warnings. If I remove the --refresh-dependencies option, the warning does NOT appear.

Need some help to identify the cause.

It may be related to this task… If I remove it - the warning also does NOT appear. Line 240 appears in the stacktrace below.

task \_downloadJavaScriptCompileDependencies(dependsOn: configurations.javaScriptCompile, type: Copy, group: WebPlugin.WEB\_GROUP) {  
from {  
LINE: 240 -\> configurations.javaScriptCompile.collect { zipTree(it) }  
}  
into javaScriptCompileDependenciesDirectory

```
doFirst { delete javaScriptCompileDependenciesDirectory }

```

}

gradlew assemble --refresh-dependencies

The following is the output of a build script that reproduces the issue - although unlike the actual production build script - the error is intermittent.
