$ ./gradlew exportLibraries

Some problems were found with the configuration of task ':app:exportLibraries' (type 'AboutLibrariesExportTask').
  - Type 'AboutLibrariesExportTask' property 'librariesWithoutLicenses' is missing an input or output annotation.
    
    Reason: A property without annotation isn't considered during up-to-date checking.

With gradle 6.8.3 it works fine :)

[mikepenz]

Are you really on the latest version? we had updated things to rc02 back here: #633 So that seems very interesting

[carstenhag]

If 8.8.5 is the latest one, then yes :P. Or was the fix not released yet, being only in the branch?

[carstenhag]

Thanks!

[mikepenz]

Thank you so much for reporting the problem

Has something changed? My working 885 is now broken on 886.

Execution failed for task ':app:prepareLibraryDefinitionsDebug'.

Receiver class com.mikepenz.aboutlibraries.plugin.AboutLibrariesProcessor does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method 'abstract java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String)' of interface groovy.lang.GroovyObject.

@fourofspades / @mueller-ma I suppose that could be due to: v8.8.5...v8.8.6#diff-e6a7317f36842898d8b7503d337e6c868886a1d08ddd7c79048aa73b883efa7bR42

But even that seems odd as the stacktrace points to a different location.
Please open a new issue for that
