Description

The recent upgrade to gradle 4.2 has broken the previously working ui build. It was a bit of a nightmare for me to get this working originally and unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to bisect the changelog to see what they've changed.

Here is the symptom of a false positive result:

$ ./gradlew --rerun-tasks ui:lint

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 8s
3 actionable tasks: 3 executed
apache-aurora$ cd ui
ui$ 
ui$ npm run lint

> apache-aurora@1.0.0 lint /Users/dmclaughlin/t/apache-aurora/ui
> eslint src/main/js --ext .js


/Users/dmclaughlin/t/apache-aurora/ui/src/main/js/components/Icon.js
  3:7  error  'test' is assigned a value but never used  no-unused-vars

✖ 1 problem (1 error, 0 warnings)

I'm not totally sure which version of Gradle causes the regression.

I also saw issues with changing files and Gradle still considering the task UP-TO-DATE. This would cause false positives in other ways and general make it unpleasant to work in the UI.
