Unable to update or purge snapshots in recent version of Gradle about kotlinsnapshot

Hi @lcombs15 thank you for let us know, I'll take a look and fix it. You can use your workaround in the meantime or send a PR with the fix. 🎉

Work around

You have two options:

1. Delete the failing snapshot and re-run tests. Rely on version control.
2. View the diff and copy/paste it into the snapshot yourself

To my knowledge purging snapshots doesn't work either. I had an unused snapshot and it was not removed.

I've been looking into this today. The Java properties are not persisting into the task.

In other words, this code isn't doing anything:

                System.setProperty "updateSnapshots", "1"

How else could we alert the plugin it's time to update snapshots? I almost wonder if this is broken by newer versions of gradle

Hi @lcombs15 thanks for reporting. It looks like something related to the Gradle version you are using. Could you please paste here which Gradle version are you using. If you could also create a minimum reproducible example project, that'd be great 😃

As @tonilopezmr mentioned he's going to take a look at the fix, I'll assign this issue to him. Thank you both for your help!
