Gradle build cache is not enabled for task

Question

I have enabled gradle build cache for my project. But, we are using some non-built in tasks like npm-install from third party plugins. Gradle is not enabling cache for these

Answer 1

Gradle documentation says:

There are third party plugins that work well with the build cache. The most prominent examples are the Android plugin 3.1+ and the Kotlin plugin 1.2.21+. For other third party plugins, check their documentation to find out whether they support the build cache.

So it depends on the plugin which provides the task npm-configure.

If you are using the gradle-node-plugin from SRS, it should work since version 1.2.0 according to their changelog.
