Bugs

Gradle Version: 2.14.1
Operating System: Windows and Linux
Is this a regression? Dunno

Could you please provide a reproducible example project on GitHub? It’s hard to tell from the stacktrace what is causing this.

3

I know it’s hard to tell. The missing property/method isn’t even listed :frowning:
Unfortunately, i can’t share my project…

4

I’m not asking you to share the real project, but a reduced example that shows the problem. Without that, I don’t see a way to diagnose this bug.

5

If you can output the missing property, then maybe I can find the issue myself. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong on my end, but it’s not easy to find without more info.

6

If I were able to reduce the problem, then I could most likely fix it as well…

7

Adding output on every method missing call would be incredibly expensive. This is called a lot by Groovy.

You could attach a debugger using -Dorg.gradle.debug=true to see where the problem is.

8

How about only when there is a StackOverflowError?

Please use a debugger or alternatively build Gradle from source (it’s very easy) with the added logging you want.
