Building Gradle from source using Jenkins

[FireBurn]

I've been using a simple jenkins job to download and compile gradle

# Download source

git clone https://github.com/gradle/gradle.git -b v${GRADLE_VERSION} gradle

# Build package

cd gradle

JAVA_HOME=/apps/was/java/${JAVA_VERSION} ./gradlew install -Pgradle_installPath=${JENKINS_DIR}/gradle-install --project-prop finalRelease=true 

cd ${JENKINS_DIR}/gradle-install

rm -rf bin/*.bat

tar cfzS ${JENKINS_DIR}/gradle-${GRADLE_VERSION}.tar.gz *

I find I can't do this now without both unsetting JENKINS_HOME and removing the .git directory:

unset JENKINS_HOME

rm -rf .git

If I don't unset JENKINS_HOME I get the following error:

./gradlew install -Pgradle_installPath=/apps/was/jenkins/workspace/Compile_Gradle/gradle-install --project-prop finalRelease=true
Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 incompatible Daemon could not be reused, use --status for details
Watching the file system is an incubating feature.
Watching the file system is not supported on this operating system.
Dependency verification is an incubating feature.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Settings file '/apps/was/jenkins/workspace/Compile_Gradle/gradle/settings.gradle.kts' line: 26

* What went wrong:
An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'com.gradle.enterprise.gradle-enterprise-conventions-plugin', version: '0.7.1']
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.gradle.enterprise.gradle-enterprise-conventions-plugin'.
   > java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

If I unset JENKINS_HOME and leave the .git directory I get:

./gradlew install -Pgradle_installPath=/apps/was/jenkins/workspace/Compile_Gradle/gradle-install --project-prop finalRelease=true
Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 incompatible Daemon could not be reused, use --status for details

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':determineCommitId'.
> java.io.FileNotFoundException: /apps/was/jenkins/workspace/Compile_Gradle/gradle/.git/f2d1fb54a951d8b11d25748e4711bec8d128d7e3 (No such file or directory)

* 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.

Is there a way to get the plugin to treat this as a local build? As running the command on the box manually worked just fine
