Gradle not using custom repository during gradle init

[semih-toprak]

I am trying to migrate my project from maven, but I can not access the custom company repository. Gradle connects to the central repository by default, and disregards both my maven settings.xml and init.gradle. The issue is the same as gradle/gradle#19884 but I am using a windows machine.

Expected Behavior

Gradle should use the repository settings from init.gradle.

Current Behavior

Gradle ignores the settings and tries to access https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 instead and gets blocked by corporate proxy. Same settings work fine while running any other gradle command, such as build.

Context

I can not convert a maven project to gradle while behind a corporate proxy that blocks maven repos.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1- Be behind a proxy that blocks maven repos.
2- Have a maven project
3- Open maven project folder and run gradle init with init.gradle config.

Your Environment

init.gradle file:

    allprojects {

        repositories {

            mavenLocal()

	    maven { url "custom-repo" }

	    maven { url "custom-repo" }

	    maven { url "custom-repo" }
    }
}

Settings xml:

<mirrors>
	<mirror>
		<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
		<name>remote-repos</name>
		<url>custom-repo</url>
		<id>remote-repos</id>
	</mirror>
<!--  This was added in case * mirror did not work, but changed nothing. -->
	<mirror>
		<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
		<name>apache-repo</name>
		<url>custom-repo</url>
		<id>apache-repo</id>
	</mirror>
</mirrors>
<!--  This was added in case mirrors did not work, but changed nothing.  -->
<repositories>
			<repository>
				<snapshots>
					<enabled>false</enabled>
				</snapshots>
				<id>central</id>
				<name>libs-release</name>
				<url>custom-repo</url>
			</repository>
			<repository>
				<snapshots />
				<id>snapshots</id>
				<name>libs-snapshot</name>
				<url>custom-repo</url>
			</repository>
		</repositories>

• Build scan URL:
  I ran gradle init --scan and got the following error:

  FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • Where:
    Auto-applied by using --scan

  • What went wrong:
    Plugin [id: 'com.gradle.enterprise', version: '3.8.1', artifact: 'com.gradle:gradle-enterprise-gradle-plugin:3.8.1'] was not found in any of the following sources:

  • Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
  • Plugin Repositories (could not resolve plugin artifact 'com.gradle:gradle-enterprise-gradle-plugin:3.8.1')
    Searched in the following repositories:
    Gradle Central Plugin Repository
  • 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.

  • Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

This is probably because it did not use my repo settings and got blocked by proxy.
