Could not find method beforeSettings() for arguments [...] on build of type org.gradle.invocation.DefaultGradle.

See original GitHub issue

Hi. I just tried adding this action to one of my action files to speed up the pipelines by caching all the downloaded dependencies.

Pretty unexpectedly I get the following error message when any gradle task is invoked.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Initialization script '/home/runner/.gradle/init.gradle' line: 6

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating initialization script.
> Could not find method beforeSettings() for arguments [init_eiwz59vorj50r19wcr0ymhsxm$_run_closure1@415a204d] on build of type org.gradle.invocation.DefaultGradle.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org
