https://discuss.gradle.org/t/console-readline-does-not-print-text-if-run-from-dolast-with-gradle-2-13/17371

I have a script that ask for user input using System.console().readline('label'). The label is printed on console and the user can type something.
I upgraded from gradle 2.12 to 2.13 and now the first label I use in the task disappears.

For example, when I run the following:

def console = System.console()
def firstname
def lastname

task run {
    doLast {
        firstname = console.readLine('> What is your first name?: ')
        lastname = console.readLine('> What is your last name?: ')
    }
}

I get that with 2.12:

"gradle-2.12/bin/gradle" run
> Building 0% > :run> What is your first name?: John
> What is your last name?: Doe
:run

And that with 2.13:

> "gradle-2.13/bin/gradle" run
> Building 0%> What is your > Building 0% > :runJohn
> What is your last name?: Doe
:run

The first label (> What is your first name?) is not showing.
