Incorrect JarSearchableOptionsTask Caching Behavior

[tylerbertrand]

What happened?

The jarSearchableOptions task is exhibiting a cache miss caused by its sandboxDir input property being set to an absolute path. Since sandboxDir is a String property, the path it is set to should either be relative, or, if changes to the contents of the directory affect the outcome of the task, sandboxDir should be converted to a DirectoryProperty with relative path normalization, so that its contents can be properly tracked by Gradle.

Relevant log output or stack trace

• Task input comparison showing sandboxDir input difference
• Custom value comparison showing the sandboxDir input difference is caused by an absolute path

Steps to reproduce

In a project using gradle-intellij-plugin, run a clean build executing the jarSearchableOptions task. Clone or copy the project into another file system location, and run the same build again. The jarSearchableOptions task in the second build should come from cache, but it does not.

I noticed that on the main branch, the JarSearchableOptionsTask has been restructured to be SandboxAware, and that the sandboxDir property no longer exists - looks like it has been split into multiple @Internal DirectoryPropertys. In that case, not sure if you will want to fix the existing implementation, but based upon the updated implementation, perhaps sandboxDir should just be marked @Internal?
