Gradle 8: Unable to make progress running work. There are items queued for execution but none of them can be started

Question

In my Selenium-JAVA-Gradle based automated test project running in CI: Teamcity server, recently we updated the JAVA and Gradle version. The tests run good without any error locally but the build in TeamCity marked as failure. What could be the reason?

• Teamcity server - JAVA Version: 21
• Teamcity server - Gradle Version: 8.4

All the tests runs good without any error, but the build marked as failure with the error:

 Unable to make progress running work. The following items are queued for execution but none of them can be started:

In teamcity: 'Build Step: Gradle' -> set 'Gradle tasks: clean build test' -> 'Additional Gradle command line parameters: %TEST_ENV% --warning-mode all' This configuration fixed my issue. – Inshrine

Try to add the following line in your settings.gradle.kts

gradle.startParameter.excludedTaskNames.addAll(listOf(":your-convention-module:testClasses"))
