Anyone else is experiencing webpack production task not being executed? Even after clean build the jsBrowserProductionWebpack task is somehow skipped.

Running gradle with --info shows this:

> Task :examples:hello-world:jsBrowserProductionWebpack FROM-CACHE
Build cache key for task ':examples:hello-world:jsBrowserProductionWebpack' is 04688503566953bbe1c2ae2e010ccccc
Task ':examples:hello-world:jsBrowserProductionWebpack' is not up-to-date because:
  Output property 'outputDirectory' file /home/rjaros/git/kilua/examples/hello-world/build/kotlin-webpack/js/productionExecutable has been removed.
Loaded cache entry for task ':examples:hello-world:jsBrowserProductionWebpack' with cache key 04688503566953bbe1c2ae2e010ccccc

It's reported as not up-to-date but still is not executed. The production bundle is not created.

Setting org.gradle.caching=false fixes the issue, but makes build process very slow.

I'm using Kotlin 2.2.20-RC and Gradle 9.0

The problem somehow appears only in my complex project (with some apps inside an example subdirectory). It doesn't appear with simple projects.

I had very similar issue a few months ago https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CDFP59223/p1745257475629339

It fixed itself then.
