Execution optimizations have been disabled for task ':asciidoctor' when converting document at the project root

[bric3]

I have a file CHANGELOG.adoc at the root of my project (and at the root of the git repository).

My build script converts this file and use it's content in some other task.

The problem is that it seems that gradle is not happy about the way the task access this single file (actually I have a second one) and as such disable the cache for asciidoctor, and all subsequent tasks.

The task is declared this way

asciidoctor {
    sourceDir file('.')    // <== I suppose this is causing the issue with gradle
    sources {
        include 'CHANGELOG.adoc'
        include 'DESCRIPTION.adoc'
    }
    outputDir file('build/docs')
}

Is there a way around it ? Keeping the files in place (ie not moving them in a different folder) ? If not, maybe that's something that could be improved.

There is a workaround for this. Somethin like the following.

A a changelog.adoc to a source directory and then include the files from the project directory.

= Changelog & Release Notes {revnumber}

include::{projectdir}/CHANGELOG.adoc[tags=changelog,leveloffset=-1]

Nice trick! This does fix the cache issue !
