Val cannot be reassigned for creationTime about jib HOT 4 CLOSED

3.3.1 included 3696e6c which changed creationTime to a Property.
you can set it like:

creationTime.set("USE_CURRENT_TIMESTAMP")

or by upgrading gradle to 8.2.1

or, in gradle 8.1.1, setting systemProp.org.gradle.unsafe.kotlin.assignment=true in gradle.properties

from jib.

Hello @neogeogre, I haven't been able to replicate your issue. Could you try following the below example and seeing if it works for you?

My steps:

• examples/helloworld/build.gradle:
  1. Verified line 3 is id 'com.google.cloud.tools.jib' version '3.3.2'
  2. Updated line 17 to jib.to.image = 'gcr.io/<myproject>/image-built-with-jib'
• Execute ./gradlew jib. Result: Container uploaded to gcr.io with creation date Dec 31, 1969
• Modify examples/helloworld/build.gradle with new line 18:
  jib.container.creationTime = "USE_CURRENT_TIMESTAMP"
• Execute ./gradlew jib. Result: Container uploaded to gcr.io with creation date

Final build.gradle:

plugins {
  id 'java'
  id 'com.google.cloud.tools.jib' version '3.3.2'
}

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:23.6-jre'
}

jib.to.image = 'gcr.io/<myproject>/image-built-with-jib'
jib.container.creationTime = "USE_CURRENT_TIMESTAMP"

Thank you @wakingrufus, this solved the issue, what is difficult to guess is that now properties are not all set in the same way like:

container {
    ports = listOf("8080")
    creationTime.set("USE_CURRENT_TIMESTAMP")
}

Yes its not ideal. But eventually everything should be a property. Also in gradle 8.2+ the = syntax works with properties
