== Description

This plugin adds http://www.gradle.org/[Gradle] Support to Jenkins. http://www.gradle.org/[Gradle] is managed as another tool inside Jenkins (the same way as Ant or Maven), including support for automatic installation and a new build step is provided to execute Gradle tasks.

It also allows detecting https://gradle.com/build-scans/[Build Scans] in arbitrary console logs, for Maven and Gradle builds and display them in the Jenkins UI.

In order to release this plugin have a look at link:RELEASING.md[here].

== Configuration

Gradle configuration is performed in the Configure System (before Jenkins 2.0) or Global Tool Configuration (starting in Jenkins 2.0). In both cases these options reside in the Manage Jenkins section.

In the Gradle section provided by this plugin, several installations can be configured:

The system provides both automatic installation, which can be performed by directly downloading from the http://www.gradle.org/[Gradle web site], extracting a compressed final or executing some shell commands. Besides, for nodes which already has Gradle installed, the tool can by manually configured, by unchecking the Install automatically checkbox and providing the base path (GRADLE_HOME) of the installation.

== Usage

The Gradle plugin provides an Invoke Gradle script build step.

The first configuration option is whether to use one of the installation configured in Jenkins (see previous section) of use the https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html[Gradle Wrapper] which is the Gradle-provided mechanism to "embed" the use of a specific Gradle version in a build, installing it if necessary.

Other configuration options include:

• A description to use for the build step.
• Switches (options) to provide to the Gradle execution.
• Tasks to execute (if blanck the defaults tasks of the build will be invoked).
• Path to the build script if different from the root directory of the build.
• Name of the build script if different from build.gradle.

If a https://scans.gradle.com/[Gradle Build Scan] is produced during a build, then a link to it is added to the build page.

== Capturing build scans from console log

If you are not using the provided build scan, you can still configure to detect published (Maven or Gradle) https://gradle.com/build-scans/[Build Scans] from the console log. For doing so, go to Build Environment and check Inspect build log for published Gradle build scans.

If build scans are detected in the console log of a build, a badge will be added to the build page. This works for https://gradle.com/build-scans/[Build Scans] produced by Gradle and Maven builds.

== Capturing build scans from Jenkins Pipeline

When using Jenkins pipeline, there is the build step wrapper withGradle which can be used to find the build scans emitted by Gradle builds and show them on the build page. In order to do so, wrap your sh or bat steps which invoke Gradle into withGradle.

For example: [source]

node { withGradle { sh './gradlew build' } }

This causes the shell output to be highlighted and build scan links, which are emitted, are captured. The captured build scan links are then shown on the build page and in the pipeline steps view.

There is also the findBuildScans() step, which finds the build scans in the complete log of the pipeline job. The withGradle wrapper should be used instead, since it also deals well with parallel output.

== Roadmap

• Using the Gradle API for accessing all the Gradle functionalities
• Providing a Maven-like or Ivy-like integration ** Multi-project detection ** Adding automatic tests result path detection ** Listing executed tasks with time execution for each task ** Providing a log for each module in a multi-project
