artifactoryPublish fails if configuration on demand is enabled

[Steppschuh]

Expected behaviour

Executing ./gradlew artifactoryPublish publishes artefacts. Output:

13:20:53: Executing task 'artifactoryPublish'...

Executing tasks: [artifactoryPublish]

:library:generatePomFileForAarPublication
:library:artifactoryPublish

Actual behaviour

Executing ./gradlew artifactoryPublish doesn't publish any artefacts. Output:

13:22:48: Executing task 'artifactoryPublish'...

Executing tasks: [artifactoryPublish]

Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.
:library:artifactoryPublish

Steps to reproduce

• Checkout gradle-android-example
• Add org.gradle.configureondemand=true to gradle.properties

Configuration on demand is an often (1, 2, 3) recommended build performance optimization for larger projects with multiple modules.

Finding the cause of this issue burned quite a few hours. There should be at least a warning or error message if the artifactory plugin can't work properly with that flag enabled.

Just lost some hours because of this issue. I added configuration on demand together with some other Gradle changes and it was not clear at all that this was the cause as the problem is completely silent.

Wow, this is still not supported after 4 years?

When configureOnDemand=true, If I run these commands one after the other, the group of the -domain dependency is not resolved and it's wrong

./gradlew :ble:generatePomFileForAarPublication
./gradlew :ble-domain:generatePomFileForAarPublication

Snippet from generated pom for ble module

    <dependency>
      <groupId>ProjectName.ble</groupId>
      <artifactId>ble-domain</artifactId>
      <version>0.3.0</version>
    </dependency>

The group is resolved as expected if you run one after the oner

./gradlew :ble-domain:generatePomFileForAarPublication :ble:generatePomFileForAarPublication 

And now, the group is correct

    <dependency>
      <groupId>my.company</groupId>
      <artifactId>ble-domain</artifactId>
      <version>0.3.0</version>
    </dependency>

Come on JFrog, give some ❤️ to this plugin!
