Guess I came too late to the 1.12-rc2 party (12 minutes before the 1.12 announcement). Just in case my message in the 1.12-rc2 announcement went unnoticed, I stumbled upon a regression:

when a method is defined in build.gradle, it’s no longer available to the scripts that build.gradle includes. Example: --build.gradle-- void echo(String string) { logger.quiet string } apply from: file(‘include.gradle’)

–include.gradle-- task myTask { echo(‘this used to work’) }

This used to work with version 1.11 (and since at least 1.1, which is the oldest Gradle version that I still had handy).

Hope this helps (should I open a bug report?),
