flutter (2.5.0-5.2.pre) deletes the .gradle cache folder if an error occurs when building an apk #89000
Description
If for some reason gradle fails at any step either during flutter run or flutter build it deletes the whole .gradle cache.
Steps to Reproduce
Here we are cutting down the internet so that gradle errors and the bug is reproducible
0- (OPTIONAL) Probably check your $HOME/.gradle folder size for comparison
1- flutter create sample
2- cd sample
3- Disconnect from internet so that gradle fails to download dependencies
4- flutter build apk --release
5- check $HOME/.gradle it should be empty now
Expected results:
flutter maintains my cached gradle artifacts
Actual results:
Flutter Logs
Gradle errors as expected due to not having internet
Running Gradle task 'assembleRelease'... 47.0s
[!] Gradle threw an error while downloading artifacts from the network. Retrying to download...
