jgit save config lock file exception on CI

[lars06]

I am getting an exception when the Gradle daemon starts on Azure DevOps CI. I have tested with and without the plugin and it only occurs when using gradle-git-properties. Unfortunately it also significantly decreases the speed of my build (must be hanging somewhere before failing). Is there any way this can be fixed?

Exception:

/agent/_work/29/s/gradlew check
Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 stopped Daemon could not be reused, use --status for details

Creating lock file $HOME/.config/jgit/config.lock failed

Gradle config:

plugins {
    id 'java-library'
    id "com.gorylenko.gradle-git-properties" version "2.4.1"
}

java {
    toolchain {
        languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(17)
    }
}

gitProperties {
    keys = ['git.branch','git.commit.id']
}

Thanks in advance!
