Describe the bug
After checking out the repository I want to run the ./gradlew format check to make sure everything is ok before starting a new PR like described in the contribution documentation, but it fails with

$ ./gradlew format check
> Task :spring-security-aspects:checkFormatTest FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Some problems were found with the configuration of task ':spring-security-aspects:checkFormatTest' (type 'CheckFormat').
  - Gradle detected a problem with the following location: '/Users/.../spring-security/aspects/src/test/java'.

    Reason: Task ':spring-security-aspects:checkFormatTest' uses this output of task ':spring-security-aspects:formatTest' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.

    Possible solutions:
      1. Declare task ':spring-security-aspects:formatTest' as an input of ':spring-security-aspects:checkFormatTest'.
      2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':spring-security-aspects:formatTest' from ':spring-security-aspects:checkFormatTest' using Task#dependsOn.
      3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':spring-security-aspects:formatTest' from ':spring-security-aspects:checkFormatTest' using Task#mustRunAfter.

    For more information, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.6/userguide/validation_problems.html#implicit_dependency in the Gradle documentation.

Running it with a ./gradlew clean build works without issues, but also invoking the ./gradlew format check after this fails with the same issue

To Reproduce
do a new git clone of the spring security main branch and run the ./gradlew format check in the folder

Expected behavior
I would expect the gradle task to finish without issues like described in the contribution documentation

Sample

Sample is in this case the main branch of the repository
