Description

.../Gant/src/main/groovy/gant/Gant.groovy: 128: The variable [fileText] is declared final but is reassigned
. At [128:7] @ line 128, column 7.
final fileText = url.text
^

1 error

This is a brand new error the code used to compile just fine. For the avoidance of doubt:

$ grep fileText `find src -name "*.groovy"`
src/main/groovy/gant/Gant.groovy: final fileText = url.text
src/main/groovy/gant/Gant.groovy: compileScript(cacheDirectory, fileText, className)
src/main/groovy/gant/Gant.groovy: return binding.groovyShell.parse(fileText, buildClassName)

the variable is not in fact reassigned.
