Copy dependencies to an offline machine failed.

I followed the steps in the document (Understanding dependency resolution), but I failed to build with --offline.

thu_wgchen_1@lon21:~/BIGDATA1/sth/fractal $ ./gradlew assemble --offline

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    A problem occurred configuring root project ‘fractal’.

Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ‘:classpath’.
Could not resolve com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins:shadow:2.0.4.

BUILD FAILED in 5s

But I can find shadow.jar in ~/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins/shadow/2.0.4/30c957bc8507c15a3b6e48a47c6a44bda676c9b5/

I don’t know why I failed.

The Gradle version is 6.4 .
The Linux version of the two machines are different.

Is there someone know the reason?
