We are running “./gradlew build” from root directory of open source project https://github.com/deanhiller/webpieces
In gradle 6, this worked fine but after upgrading to 7.1.1 (or 7.2) and conversion to composite build as well, we now VERY frequently get this issue(9 times out of 10 on my computer)

When the build fails, it is a very big red herring that junior devs start looking into until I tell them it’s a red herring.
