New: Basic Cache Provider

A new MIT-licensed Basic Caching provider is now available as an alternative to the proprietary Enhanced Caching provided by gradle-actions-caching. Choose Basic Caching by setting cache-provider: basic on setup-gradle or dependency-submission actions.

  • Built on @actions/cache -- fully open source
  • Caches ~/.gradle/caches and ~/.gradle/wrapper directories
  • Cache key derived from build files (*.gradle*, gradle-wrapper.properties, etc.)
  • Clean cache on build file changes (no restore keys, preventing stale entry accumulation)

Limitations vs Enhanced Caching: No cache cleanup, no deduplication of cached content, cached content is fixed unless build files change.

Revamped Licensing & Distribution Documentation

  • New DISTRIBUTION.md documents the licensing of each component (particularly Basic Caching vs Enhanced Caching)
  • Simplified licensing notices in README, docs, and runtime log output
  • Clear usage tiers: Enhanced Caching is free for public repos and in Free Preview for private repos

v4.4.1

Compare Source

This patch release fixes a bug in Develocity Injection with a custom plugin repository.
The gradle-plugin-repository-* action parameters were not being correctly mapped to environment variables that are read by the Develocity Injection init script.

This issue has been fixed by setting the correct environment variables:

  • gradle-plugin-repository-url is mapped to DEVELOCITY_INJECTION_PLUGIN_REPOSITORY_URL
  • gradle-plugin-repository-username is mapped to DEVELOCITY_INJECTION_PLUGIN_REPOSITORY_USERNAME
  • gradle-plugin-repository-password is mapped to DEVELOCITY_INJECTION_PLUGIN_REPOSITORY_PASSWORD

Additionally, these parameters can now be used to configure a custom plugin repository for the GitHub Dependency Graph Gradle Plugin, required for dependency submission.

What's Changed

  • Dependency-graph plugin has been updated to v1.4.0
    • The 'detector' values included in the generated graph can now be configured via environment variables.

v4.0.0

Compare Source

Final release of v4.0.0 of the setup-gradle, dependency-submission and wrapper-validation actions provided under gradle/actions.
This release is available under the v4 tag.

Major changes from the v3 release
The arguments parameter has been removed

Using the action to execute Gradle via the arguments parameter was deprecated in v3 and this parameter has been removed.
See here for more details.

Cache cleanup enabled by default

After a number of fixes and improvements, this release enables cache-cleanup by default for all Jobs using the setup-gradle and dependency-submission actions.

Improvements and bugfixes related cache cleanup:

  • By default, cache cleanup is not run if any Gradle build fails (#​71)
  • Cache cleanup is not run after configuration-cache reuse (#​19)

This feature should help to minimize the size of entries written to the GitHub Actions cache, speeding up builds and reducing cache usage.

Wrapper validation enabled by default

In v3, the setup-gradle action was enhanced to support Gradle wrapper validation, removing the need to use a separate workflow
file with the gradle/actions/wrapper-validation action.

With this release, wrapper validation has been significantly improved, and is now enabled by default (#​12):

  • The allow-snapshot-wrappers makes it possible to validate snapshot wrapper jars using setup-gradle.
  • Checksums for nightly and snapshot Gradle versions are now validated (#​281).
  • Valid wrapper checksums are cached in Gradle User Home, reducing the need to retrieve checksum values remotely (#​172).
  • Reduce network calls in wrapper-validation for new Gradle versions: By only fetching wrapper checksums for Gradle versions that were not known when this action was released, this release reduces the likelihood that a network failure could cause failure in wrapper validation (#​171)
  • Improved error message when wrapper-validation finds no wrapper jars (#​284)

Wrapper validation is important for supply-chain integrity. Enabling this feature by default will increase the coverage of wrapper
validation on projects using GitHub Actions.

New input parameters for Dependency Graph generation

Some dependency-graph inputs that could previously only be configured via environment variables now have dedicated action inputs:

Other improvements
  • In Job summary, the action now provides an explanation when cache is set to read-only or disabled (#​255)
  • When setup-gradle requests a specific Gradle version, the action will no longer download and install that version if it is already available on the PATH of the runner (#​270)
  • To attempt to speed up builds, the setup-gradle and dependency-submission actions now attempt to use the D: drive for Gradle User Home if it is available (#​290)

v3.4.1

Compare Source

This patch release fixes a bug introduced in v3.4.0, that prevents build scan publication to Develocity.
The bug results in the removal of the DEVELOCITY_ACCESS_KEY variable being removed, so that Gradle cannot authenticate with the Develocity server.

What's Changed
  • Don't clear access key when access token cannot be obtained by @​cdsap in #​258
  • Simplify requesting short-lived Develocity access tokens by @​bigdaz in #​259

Full Changelog: gradle/actions@v3.4.0...v3.4.1

v3.4.0

Compare Source

This release improves the integration with Gradle Develocity®, as well as updating a number of key dependencies.

  • The new develocity-access-key input parameter allows the action to generate a short-lived access token for subsequent
    communication with Develocity. This reduces the risk of the full (long-lived) access key being compromised,
    either accidentally or by a malicious action.
  • New input parameters are available
