Changelog

v2.8.0

Compare Source

The v2.8.0 release of the gradle-build-action introduces an easy mechanism to connect to Gradle Enterprise, as well improved support for self-hosted GitHub Actions runners.

Automatic injection of Gradle Enterprise connectivity

It is now possible to connect a Gradle build to Gradle Enterprise without changing any of the Gradle project sources. This is achieved through Gradle Enterprise injection, where an init-script will apply the Gradle Enterprise plugin and associated configuration.

This feature can be useful to easily trial Gradle Enterprise on a project, or to centralize Gradle Enterprise configuration for all GitHub Actions workflows in an organization.

See Gradle Enterprise injection in the README for more info.

Restore Gradle User Home when directory already exists

Previously, the Gradle User Home would not be restored if the directory already exists. This wasn't normally an issue with GitHub-hosted runners, but limited the usefulness of the action for persistent, self-hosted runners.

This behaviour has been improved in this release:

• The Job Summary now includes a useful error message when Gradle User Home was not restored because the directory already exists.
• The action can now be configured to restore the Gradle User Home when the directory already exists, overwriting existing content with content from the GitHub Actions cache. See https://github.com/gradle/gradle-build-action#overwriting-an-existing-gradle-user-home for more details.

v2.7.1

Compare Source

This release contains no code changes, only dependency updates and documentation improvements.

Changelog

v2.7.0

GitHub Dependency Graph support

In this release, the GitHub Dependency Graph support is no longer considered "experimental", and should be considered ready for production use. You can read more about the Dependency Graph support in the README chapter.

Changes

• Update to [email protected]
  • Dependency graph uses Gradle Settings file as manifest location (if Settings file exists)
• Adds a dependency-graph-file output to any step that generates a Dependency Graph file

v2.6.1

Dependency Graph support

This patch release fixes and improves a couple of aspects of the experimental Dependency Graph support:

• The action will now generate a unique job.correlator value for each Gradle invocation within a Job. This permits multiple Gradle invocations in a single job to generate and submit a separate dependency graph.
• Update to use [email protected], which brings a number of improvements to the generated dependency graph:
  • Each Gradle build invocation is mapped to a single GitHub Dependency Graph manifest. This should result in fewer duplicate security alerts being generated.
  • Configurations that contribute to the GitHub Dependency Graph can be filtered by regular expression

GitHub Dependency Graph support (Experimental)

This release brings experimental support for submitting a GitHub Dependency Graph snapshot via the GitHub Dependency Submission API.

The dependency graph snapshot is generated via integration with the GitHub Dependency Graph Gradle Plugin, and saved as a workflow artifact. The generated snapshot files can be submitted either in the same job, or in a subsequent job (in the same or a dependent workflow).

The generated dependency graph snapshot reports all of the dependencies that were resolved during a bulid execution, and is used by GitHub to generate Dependabot Alerts for vulnerable dependencies, as well as to populate the Dependency Graph insights view.

Check out the README chapter for more details on how this works and how to configure a workflow that submits a dependency graph.

Changelog
