Trouble since upgrade in a project with product flavors?

[rpavlik]

About this issue

We've been happily using AboutLibraries 8.5.0 in Monado https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/monado/monado for some time. I was recently prompted to update to 8.8.6, and despite not seeing anything related in the changelog, I now get an error. I'm blaming product flavors, since that's what I was messing with when I upgraded, and I don't know why else this would start happening. 8.8.5 appears to work fine.

Thank you so much @rpavlik nothing particular to that was changed indeed. We will have to investigate if it may be some issue with stable gradle 7.0.2

https://github.com/mikepenz/AboutLibraries/issues/637#issuecomment-842520907

[rpavlik]

Note that here I am using Gradle 6.8.3 - I haven't dared upgrade to 7 yet.

[eygraber]

I was using 8.8.6 with Gradle 7+ and it worked fine.

[rpavlik]

Yeah it wasn't working with Gradle 6.8.3. haven't tested this fix that but I imagine it will do the trick.

Wonder if we should have ci testing with 2 Gradle versions until the 6 series is fully dead

[mikepenz]

I think it would have only worked with v7.x.

Downgraded to v6.x for the plugin with the new release which should solve it. Sadly couldn't find if I could change something in the plugin so to stay with v7.
