This is the first release of gradle/gradle-build-action available with the v3 version tag.

Important

As of v3 this action has been superceded by gradle/actions/setup-gradle.
Any workflow that uses gradle/gradle-build-action@v3 will transparently delegate to gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3.

Users are encouraged to update their workflows, replacing:

uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v3

with

uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3

See the setup-gradle documentation for up-to-date documentation for gradle/actions/setup-gradle.

Changes from gradle-build-action@v2

This release brings some useful and much requested features, including:

  • save and restore the Gradle configuration-cache data
  • add the Job summary content as a PR comment
  • easily publish Build Scans® to the free Gradle Build Scan service
  • compatibility with Node 20

The only major breaking change from gradle-build-action@v2.12.0 is the update to require a Node 20 runtime environment.
Aside from that change, this release should generally serve as a drop-in replacement for gradle-build-action@v2.
