Gradle build failed at buildNeeded task.

See original GitHub issue

hi @trustin,

I was test a build for buildNeeded task, but failed it. Could you check it out?

Additionally, Eclipse builds fail too by the Circular dependency. Eclipse error keyword is “A cyclic dependency in eclipse”.

Workaround of eclipse build fail by cyclic dependency is changing build severity. Preferences > Java > Compiler > building > Build path problems. Circular dependencies : Change value Error to Warning.

Below is error messages of Gradle.

* What went wrong:
Circular dependency between the following tasks:
:core:buildNeeded
\--- :testing-internal:buildNeeded
     +--- :core:buildNeeded (*)
     +--- :testing:buildNeeded
     |    +--- :core:buildNeeded (*)
     |    \--- :testing-internal:buildNeeded (*)
     \--- :testing-internal:buildNeeded (*)

(*) - details omitted (listed previously)


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