Gradle build prints extraneous output

I have the following basic build.gradle script:

task count << {
   4.times { 
      print "$it-" 
   }
}

When I run it in quiet mode, it intermittently prints extraneous text, like the phrase 0% CONFIGURING or 0% EXECUTING:

C:\gradle-test>gradle -q count
0-1-2-3-------> 0% CONFIGURING [0s]
C:\gradle-test>gradle -q count
0-1-2-3-
C:\gradle-test>gradle -q count
0-1-2-3-------> 0% EXECUTING [0s]

Why does this extra text print arbitrarily and what does it mean?

This text like 0% EXECUTING is called the Status Bar which is displayed when Gradle is run in Rich console mode (default mode if Gradle build process is attached to a console), see more information in the documentation here : https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/command_line_interface.html#rich_console

Why does this extra text print arbitrarily

Because in your example , this is a very simple build script which is executed so fast that "sometimes" the Status Bar has not had time to be displayed before build is finished (this is my interpretation, and I reproduced for example when calling task clean on very simple projects)

EDIT: this status bar will be displayed even in "quiet" mode. if you want to disable it, you can configure the "plain text" console mode with Gradle commandline option --console=plain
