Instead of using a fallback strategy to locate a configuration-cache entry
based on the current job and git SHA, these entries are now keyed based on their
file content with the keys persisted in the primary Gradle User Home entry.
This removes the chance of having a configuration-cache entry restored that is
incompatible with the restored Gradle User Home state, and makes the logic easier
to understand.
This change involved a fairly major refactor, with the CacheEntryExtractor being
split out from the primary cache implementation, and adding a separate extractor
implementation for configuration-cache.
- Remove configuration parameter for cache-entry-definitions. This allows richer modelling of extracted entries.
- Include both *.zip and *.tar.gz in entry definition for java-toolchains.
Using a single cache entry for all files of a type is necessary to avoid
overloading the cache service. However, this mechanism is not very efficient
for certain artifacts like wrapper zips and generated-gradle-jars, where the
same individual files are often shared between different jobs.
With this change, any configured file patterns that do not end in '*' will
be cached as individual files. At this time this includes downloaded wrapper
zips and generated-gradle-jars.
Fixes#78
Previously, only .jar files were bundled, with other files (modules, POMs, zips, etc)
being left in Gradle User Home. All downloaded files are now included in the bundle.
Fixes#100
The `gradle-home-cache-includes` and `gradle-home-cache-excludes` parameters were initially implemented
as JSON string inputs. This makes these inputs non-idiomatic and easier to get wrong.
This change converts them to multi-line input parameters.
Fixes#106
Attempt to capture as much context as possible about the job run
to generate a unique cache key. Unfortunately much of the matrix context
is not available to the action implementation.
This will eliminate cache entries from previous workflow runs, allowing
us to test cache functionality in isolation. If the `CACHE_KEY_SEED` environment
variable is not set, this will have no impact.
The Gradle daemon is not useful for ephemeral builds, and the process
can hold file locks which interfere with cache entry generation.
In the case where multiple Gradle invocations occur in the same job,
we could provide a way for users to override this behaviour, taking care
of stopping any daemon process at the end of the job.
This makes the version alias match other places where we reference a release candidate version.
The 'rc' alias is still supported, but emits a deprecation warning.
- Provide a more useful error message when no Gradle wrapper can be located,
and 'gradle-version' or 'gradle-executable' is not used.
- Add test for case where wrapper is missing.
This isn't really a "test" per-se, but this failing build invocation makes it
easy to verify the GitHub action behaviour when the build is misconfigured.
- Remove the 'gradle --stop' step from the prod workflow.
We either need to stop all instances started, or rely on GitHub to clean up processes on completion.
- Remove configuration-cache and dependencies-cache from basic tests. We will later need to add
tests invocations specific for these features.
