gradle-docker-plugin: DockerBuild task fails when it needs to pull from a private registry

I ran into an issue when trying to build a dockerfile that extends an image from a private registry. Internally we use a Nexus docker registry, but I was able to reproduce with a private image on Docker Hub.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a dockerfile that starts with a pull from a private registry. E.g. FROM private/image. Of course the image cannot be present on the local machine.
Create a gradle build with a DockerBuildImage and a DockerPullImage task.

docker {
    registryCredentials {
        url = "https://index.docker.io/v1/"
        username = "cloudnativesbe"
        password = "******"
        email = "jeroen@cloudnatives.be"
    }
}

task pullImage(type: DockerPullImage) {
    repository = "private/image"
}

task buildImage(type: DockerBuildImage) {
    tags = [ "some-tag" ]
    inputDir = file('.')
}

The DockerPullImage task runs successfully. The DockerBuildImage task fails with

> Task :buildImage 
Task ':buildImage' is not up-to-date because:
  Task has not declared any outputs.
Running in a non-OSGi environment
Building image using context '.'.
Using Dockerfile 'Dockerfile'
Using tags 'test' for image.

:buildImage (Thread[Task worker for ':',5,main]) completed. Took 2.974 secs.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':buildImage'.
> Could not build image: pull access denied for cloudnativesbe/demo, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'

* Try:
Run with --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':buildImage'.

In case someone is facing the same issue, I managed to build a docker image pulled from a private repository by including the repository in the image name, eg.

task createDockerfile(type: Dockerfile) {
    destFile = project.file('build/docker/Dockerfile')
    from 'nexus.mycompany.io:1234/mycompany/baseimage:1.0.0'
    ...
}


task buildDockerImage(type: DockerBuildImage) {
    dependsOn clean, assemble, copyExecutable, createDockerfile
    inputDir = createDockerfile.destFile.parentFile
    tags = ['nexus.mycompany.io:1234/mycompany/myapplication:1.0.0']
}

@edmeister please take a look at the test https://github.com/docker-java/docker-java/blob/master/src/test/java/com/github/dockerjava/cmd/BuildImageCmdIT.java#L197
