Issue/Introduction

Currently I'm running into issues where I don't seem to be able to make consistent dependencies when using a project with multiple depend modules like the example in the documentation 


The issue I'm having with this is that I'm able to export a set of configuration and are unable to re-import this to a new gateway. E.g.: The dependency between "main module  " and the " shared module  " doesn't seem to be resolve-able and this gives a "corrupt" configuration when importing it into the gateway  

I've done multiple builds in the directories builds/build-1,2,3. These are created without editing anything in the actual policies, just multiple calls of gradle clean build-bundle.


Looking at a diff from builds/build-1/general-1.0.0.install.bundle to builds/build-2/general-1.0.0.install.bundle I see the cause of this issue:
After each run of gradle clean build-bundle the UUID is  changed and is  inconsistent between the depend modules.

Environment

Release : 9.4

Component : API GATEWAY

Cause

Due to a caching issue in gradle daemon the depend bundle will be created with the UUID from he first build and  not with the updated UUID from following builds.

Resolution

The problem is caused by the gradle daemon which is caching the uuid for the first build , as a workaround you can also make sure to disable the use of the gradle daemon.

This only works when running gradle from the command prompt , running it from a IDE will always use the daemon .

The fix for this is  included in the gateway-policy-plugin:1.0.4 .
