If (toolChain in VisualCpp) suddenly False?

Help/Discuss
1

I started seeing this issue seemingly at random. In order to generate my binaries, this has always evaluated as true:
if (toolChain in VisualCpp)

Now it evaluates false and if I force it to true with if (true), I get this error:
Could not get unknown property 'cppCompiler' for Classes 'main' of type org.gradle.api.internal.jvm.DefaultClassDirectoryBinarySpec.

Here is the full snippet:

        /*
         * Define compiler and linker arguments
         */
        all {
            if (toolChain in VisualCpp) {
                cppCompiler.args '/FS', '/GS', '/W3', '/Zc:wchar_t', '/Gm-', '/WX-', \
                    '/fp:precise', '/Zc:forScope', '/Gd', '/EHsc', '/nologo', \
                    '/IC:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/include/10.0.10240.0/ucrt'
                cppCompiler.define "_MBCS"
                cppCompiler.define "_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS"
                cppCompiler.define "WIN32"
                cppCompiler.define "_WINDLL"
                cppCompiler.define "APP_BUILDDLL"
                linker.args "/MACHINE:X64", "/LIBPATH:C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Lib/10.0.10240.0/ucrt/x64"
                if (buildType == buildTypes.debug) {
                    cppCompiler.args.addAll(['/Zi', '/Od', '/RTC1', '/MDd'])
                    linker.args.addAll(['/DEBUG',])
                } else {
                    cppCompiler.args.addAll(['/O2', '/MD'])
                }
            } else if (toolChain in Gcc) {
                cppCompiler.args '-std=gnu++0x'
                cppCompiler.define "_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0"
                linker.args '-lstdc++', '-lm'
            }
        }```

Thanks for any support! =)

Could this be a missing cpp plugin? I do have a line to apply this:
apply plugin: 'cpp'

For some reason, your build seems to be configuring the JVM binaries. The JVM software model plugins were deprecated and are discouraged to use. If I remember correctly, they are removed in Gradle 7. In your case, you are building native so it’s quite strange that you would have JVM binaries. Do you have a full build script with this error?
