I wanted to give a heads-up that PR#7615 [1] replaces the 'visteg' Gradle plugin used in our build to produce .dot-file representation of the task build graph. The plugin [2] appears to be abandoned and is not compatible with Gradle 5.0 [3]
The PR replaces it with a different plugin, 'com.dorongold.task-tree' [4], which provides similar functionality. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the ability to produce a .dot-file, but instead outputs an ASCII tree of build tasks on the command-line. This functionality is useful for debugging build issues. Once the change is merged I will update the wiki [5] with usage instructions.
