Answer 1

According to these references, there is a workaround. (issuetracker - medium)

Adding the following line to the top-level gradle settings file fixed the problem for me.

// If the project has buildSrc module.
gradle.startParameter.excludedTaskNames.addAll(listOf(":buildSrc:testClasses"))

// If the project has build-logic module.
gradle.startParameter.excludedTaskNames.addAll(listOf(":build-logic:testClasses"))

// If the project has build-logic module with convention module. (for example: https://github.com/android/nowinandroid/tree/main/build-logic)
gradle.startParameter.excludedTaskNames.addAll(listOf(":build-logic:convention:testClasses"))

Thanks to jaga for the reference link.

Oh wow.. I've been having this issue for a couple of months now. this worked for me, but the question is why? – Magnesite

Answer 2

In my case the problem was empty build folders. Basically, I originally had a module x. Then I created :x:api and :x:impl submodules on branch A. On a completely independent branch B (which should have had module X in the old structure), I had :x:api and x:impl modules but they were empty.

Solution: I deleted those empty files. I added this plugin to the module's gradle file:

plugins {
  id 'base'
}
