Feature request - env options about gradle-build-action HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @ZacSweers,
Is that a common practice? Could you please share some pointers showing how this would be done from a workflow point of view?

from gradle-build-action.

I don't have a public example but there re some cases where we run commands with local env vars

FOO=bar ./gradlew build

from gradle-build-action.

A better example would be env vars that gradle or other plugins (like the android plugin seek)
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#sec:gradle_environment_variables

We may dynamically set the JDK in a conditional way that can't be statically defined in github actions' env argument alone, hence wanting a script to manage it.

Hi Zac,

I can see how this could be useful. Thanks for clarifying.
I don't have that immediate need so it may take a while before I implement that myself.
Happy to review a pull request though ;)

It is somewhat related to #18 and should be made consistent form the YAML point of view.

With [email protected] it is now possible to use the action to configure Gradle and use a standard run action for the actual Gradle invocation. This should allow you to benefit from the caching this action provides, but retain your existing step that invokes Gradle, including any scripted setup of the environment.
