This repository contains a set of GitHub Actions that are useful for building Gradle projects on GitHub.

The setup-gradle action can be used to configure Gradle for optimal execution on any platform supported by GitHub Actions.

This replaces the previous gradle/gradle-build-action, which now delegates to this implementation.

The recommended way to execute any Gradle build is with the help of the Gradle Wrapper, and the examples assume that the Gradle Wrapper has been configured for the project. See this example if your project doesn't use the Gradle Wrapper.

name: Build

on:
  push:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout sources
      uses: actions/checkout@v4
    - name: Setup Java
      uses: actions/setup-java@v4
      with:
        distribution: 'temurin'
        java-version: 17
    - name: Setup Gradle
      uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3
    - name: Build with Gradle
      run: ./gradlew build

See the full action documentation for more advanced usage scenarios.

Generates and submits a dependency graph for a Gradle project, allowing GitHub to alert about reported vulnerabilities in your project dependencies.

The following workflow will generate a dependency graph for a Gradle project and submit it immediately to the repository via the Dependency Submission API. For most projects, this default configuration should be all that you need.

Simply add this as a new workflow file to your repository (eg .github/workflows/dependency-submission.yml).

name: Dependency Submission

on:
  push:
    branches: [ 'main' ]

permissions:
  contents: write

jobs:
  dependency-submission:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout sources
      uses: actions/checkout@v4
    - name: Setup Java
      uses: actions/setup-java@v4
      with:
        distribution: 'temurin'
        java-version: 17
    - name: Generate and submit dependency graph
      uses: gradle/actions/dependency-submission@v3

See the full action documentation for more advanced usage scenarios.

The wrapper-validation action validates the checksums of all Gradle Wrapper JAR files present in the repository and fails if any unknown Gradle Wrapper JAR files are found.

The action should be run in the root of the repository, as it will recursively search for any files named gradle-wrapper.jar.

name: "Validate Gradle Wrapper"

on:
  push:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  validation:
    name: "Validation"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: gradle/actions/wrapper-validation@v3
