Research direction
Start with BlackStep.java at the linked lines to understand the current system-path lookup, version check, and error message. Review the mentioned Gradle Python plugins before choosing an approach; done means missing or incompatible Black installations are handled better or have clearer instructions.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
We are able to call black by shelling out to it on the system path, and we are able to cache its results by enforcing a version check on the binary. However, if it isn't on the path, or the version is wrong, we just show a helpful error message and let the user figure it out from there:
It would be nice if we could handle this better, or at least have better instructions. There are a few python plugins in the gradle ecosystem, I'll reach out to them to see if they are interested.
