What happened?

The Gradle build fails with an error related to the Spotless plugin when it tries to run prettier. The error is:

npm error Unknown cli flag: --scripts-prepend-node-path

This happens because the version of Spotless used by the project does not support this npm flag. The issue was fixed upstream in Spotless version 8.10.1 (see diffplug/spotless#3024).

Expected behavior

The build should complete successfully without npm-related errors.

Current behavior

The build fails during the :test-support:spotlessJava task.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Clone the repository.
  2. Run ./gradlew build.

Proposed solution

Update the Spotless plugin to version 8.10.1 or later.
