Space-assignment syntax in Groovy DSL has been deprecated.

[dbwiddis]

What is the bug?

See: https://docs.gradle.org/8.12.1/userguide/upgrading_version_8.html#groovy_space_assignment_syntax

In our build.gradle we need to change propertyName value syntax to one of:

propertyName = value
setPropertyName(value)
setPropertyName value
propertyName(value)

I prefer the top or bottom options. Consistency with the other settings around it is probably more important for readability, e.g. for dependencies we should probably switch to propertyName(value) but in other places where = is used we should use propertyName = value.

How can one reproduce the bug?

1. Run ./gradlew test from the project root
2. Observe a file output of a "Problem Report" with a link. Mine looks like:

[Incubating] Problems report is available at: file:///Users/dbwiddis/git/flow-framework/build/reports/problems/problems-report.html

3. Open that report in your browser.
4. You'll see several lines in build.gradle marked with this error:

Space-assignment syntax in Groovy DSL has been deprecated.

What is the expected behavior?

No problems report, repo is ready for Gradle 10

What is your host/environment?

Gradle 8 with deprecation warnings in an incubating problems report

Do you have any screenshots?
