Hi, guys

I’m running my simulation with gradle gatlingRun, first time everything is fine, the simulation task is executed and report is generated, but when the second time I run it with the exact same gradle gatlingRun, it just shows as below, build successful and no task is executed. Wonder what’s going wrong here and please let me know if any extra information need to be attached to demonstrate the problem

Note: we’re not happy with the current behavior.  
The next release of the plugin will have the Gatling task always rerun as expected.
