Research direction

Review the mergeDebugJniLibFolders and mergeReleaseJniLibFolders tasks and the $buildDir/rustJniLibs/android path described in the report. Reproduce the stale .so behavior, then verify that changing those files makes the tasks rerun without relying on the outputs.upToDateWhen workaround or the shown cargoBuild dependency.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

mergeDebugJniLibFolders and mergeReleaseJniLibFolders will be treated as up to date, even when the .so files change in "$buildDir/rustJniLibs/android".

Chat GPT say it can be fixed if we add this path as input of the task.

workarround:

tasks.whenTaskAdded {
    if (name == "mergeDebugJniLibFolders" || name == "mergeReleaseJniLibFolders") {
        outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
        dependsOn("cargoBuild")
    }
}
