"textContent": "Greetings all,\n\nI’ve been struggling with an odd issue regarding the build task of the fdroiddata Pipeline. I’ve been searching for solutions since yesterday morning, but haven’t found anything remotely relevant to what I’m experiencing outside of another post on this forum.\n\nIn my case, the issue seems to be due to a Gradle tool that was included in the `settings.gradle.kts` file when initially configuring the project, as per the task log:\n\n> `2026-06-03 08:19:01,943 INFO: Scanning source for common problems...`\n>\n> `2026-06-03 08:19:01,950 DEBUG: scanner is configured to use signature data from: 'suss'`\n>\n> `2026-06-03 08:19:01,950 DEBUG: downloading '`https://fdroid.gitlab.io/fdroid-suss/suss.json`'`\n>\n> `2026-06-03 08:19:02,084 DEBUG: write 'suss.json' to cache`\n>\n> `2026-06-03 08:19:02,084 DEBUG: next suss.json cache update due in 23:59:59.997810`\n>\n> `2026-06-03 08:19:02,109 ERROR: Found usual suspect 'org.gradle.toolchains.foojay-resolver' at settings.gradle.kts`\n>\n> `2026-06-03 08:19:02,115 INFO: Removing gradle-daemon-jvm.properties at gradle/gradle-daemon-jvm.properties`\n>\n> `2026-06-03 08:19:02,116 INFO: Removing gradle-wrapper.jar at gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar`\n>\n> `2026-06-03 08:19:02,121 ERROR: Could not build app com.algol.obliquestrategies: Can't build due to 1 error while scanning`\n>\n> `2026-06-03 08:19:02,121 DEBUG: Error encountered, stopping by user request.`\n\nI did indeed immediately check my settings file, finding the code in there, which I promptly removed:\n\n\n plugins {\n \t id(\"org.gradle.toolchains.foojay-resolver-convention\") version \"1.0.0\"\n }\n\n\nHowever, even after removing this code I’ve been getting the same exact error message on each successive attempt. The `gradle-daemon-jvm.properties` file also contained some references to this `foojay-resolver` tool, so I removed the file from git tracking and later deleted the file from the project altogether. I’ve searched all other Gradle-related files in the project, finding nothing. Furthermore I double-checked the plugins from the Android Studio configuration of the project, and yet again couldn’t find anything there.\n\nThe most confounding thing is that the issue persists even after completely deleting my clone of the `fdroiddata` repo (both locally and remotely), making a new fork of it and trying again from scratch. Online searches have been rather fruitless.\n\nAny assistance, even the slightest nudge in the right direction would be most appreciated, thanks in advance.",
