publishPlugin task failed (again), leading to partial publication and non-activation

[autonomousapps]

Expected Behavior

Executing ./gradlew publishPlugins should work.

Current Behavior

It does not always.

Context

I have the following output:

> Task :publishPlugins
Publishing plugin com.autonomousapps.dependency-analysis version 0.20.0-SNAPSHOT
Publishing artifact build/libs/dependency-analysis-gradle-plugin-0.20.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Publishing artifact build/publish-generated-resources/pom.xml
Activating plugin com.autonomousapps.dependency-analysis version 0.20.0-SNAPSHOT

> Task :publishPlugins FAILED

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':publishPlugins'.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

It looks like it failed at Activating plugin..., because I cannot see v0.20.0 of the plugin in the portal.

Steps to Reproduce

Sometimes it just happens 🤷‍♂️

This is the project: https://github.com/autonomousapps/dependency-analysis-android-gradle-plugin

Your Environment

Ubuntu 18.04, Gradle 6.1.1, apparently poor home network.

@tomdcc You'd probably have the most experience here on how to actually resolve this.
