GradleBuildStep

fun BuildSteps.gradle(init: GradleBuildStep.() -> Unit): GradleBuildStep

A build step running gradle script

Example. Adds a simple Gradle step with custom tasks and a build file determined by Gradle. The Gradle Wrapper located in the checkout directory is used.

buildType {
    // Other Build Type settings ...
    steps {
        // Other Build Steps ...
        gradle {
            name = "Build myproject"
            tasks = ":myproject:clean :myproject:build"
        }

    }
}

Example. Add a Gradle build step with a custom Gradle task and a build file in a custom working directory. Gradle incremental building feature is enabled. Additional Gradle command line parameters are specified with a reference to a configuration parameter. Gralde build step is set up not to use Gradle Wrapper, so Gradle will be taken from the agent's GRADLE_HOME environment variable. Additional run parameter for printing stacktrace is enabled. This step will be run inside a Docker container. IDEA-based code coverage is enabled.

buildType {
    // Other Build Type settings ...
    steps {
        // Other Build Steps ...
        gradle {
            name = "Test my project in Docker"

            tasks = "clean test"
            buildFile = "build-test.gradle"
            incremental = true
            workingDir = "tests/"
            gradleParams = "%myproject.version%"

            useGradleWrapper = false

            enableStacktrace = true

            coverageEngine = idea {
                includeClasses = """
                    org.group.example.*
                    org.group.common
                """.trimIndent()
                excludeClasses = "org.group.common.test.*"
            }

            dockerImage = "gradle:jdk11"
            dockerImagePlatform = GradleBuildStep.ImagePlatform.Linux
        }

    }
}

Example. Adds a Gradle build step with 'default' Gradle task and custom Gradle build file. Gradle Wrapper using is disabled, so Gradle will be taken with reference to an environment variable. JDK is set to the environment variable value with custom command line parameters. This build step will run even if some previous build steps failed.

buildType {
    // Other Build Type settings ...
    steps {
        // Other Build Steps ...
        gradle {
            name = "Default run on JDK 11"
            executionMode = BuildStep.ExecutionMode.RUN_ON_FAILURE

            buildFile = "build-dev.gradle"
            gradleHome = "%env.GRADLE_DEV_HOME%"
            useGradleWrapper = false

            jdkHome = "%env.JDK_11_0%"
            jvmArgs = "-Xmx2048m"
        }

    }
}

Types

CoverageEngine

sealed class CoverageEngine : CompoundParam<GradleBuildStep.CoverageEngine>

ImagePlatform

enum ImagePlatform : Enum<GradleBuildStep.ImagePlatform>

Docker image platforms

Properties

buildFile

var buildFile: String?

The path to a custom Gradle build file. Leave this field empty if your build file is build.gradle located in the root directory. This property is deprecated for Gradle versions 9.0 and higher, use the additional -p <path-relative-to-checkout-directory> command line parameter instead.

conditions

var conditions: BuildStepConditions

Optional collection of build step execution conditions

coverageEngine

var coverageEngine: GradleBuildStep.CoverageEngine?

Specifies coverage engine to use

dockerImage

var dockerImage: String?

Specifies which Docker image to use for running this build step. I.e. the build step will be run inside specified docker image, using 'docker run' wrapper.

dockerImagePlatform

var dockerImagePlatform: GradleBuildStep.ImagePlatform?

Specifies which Docker image platform will be used to run this build step.

dockerPull

var dockerPull: Boolean?

If enabled, "docker pull image" will be run before docker run.

dockerRunParameters

var dockerRunParameters: String?

Additional docker run command arguments

enabled

var enabled: Boolean

Specifies whether the step is enabled, true by default

enableDebug

var enableDebug: Boolean?

Runs Gradle with the 'debug' (-d) log level. See also: Logging Sensitive Information.

enableStacktrace

var enableStacktrace: Boolean?

Allows Gradle to print truncated stacktraces.

executionMode

var executionMode: BuildStep.ExecutionMode

Build step execution mode

gradleHome

var gradleHome: String?

The path to a custom Gradle version. This version will be used instead of the default Gradle version referenced by the GRADLE_HOME environment variable.

gradleParams

var gradleParams: String?

Optional space-separated command-line parameters

gradleWrapperPath

var gradleWrapperPath: String?

The path (relative to the working directory) to a Gradle Wrapper script

var id: String?

Optional id of the step. Usually the id is not required, however if a build configuration inherits from a template and wants to override a build step defined there, then both steps should have the same id.

incremental

var incremental: Boolean?

Enable this option to allow TeamCity to detect Gradle modules affected by a modified build, and run the :buildDependents only for these affected modules.

jdkHome

var jdkHome: String?

Custom JDK to use. The default is JAVA_HOME environment variable or the agent's own Java.

jvmArgs

var jvmArgs: String?

Space-separated list of additional arguments for JVM

name

var name: String

Build step name

params

val params: List<Parameter>

tasks

var tasks: String?

Space-separated task names. TeamCity runs the 'default' task if this field is empty.

type

var type: String

Build step type

useGradleWrapper

var useGradleWrapper: Boolean?

Enable this setting if TeamCity should look for a Gradle Wrapper script in the project directory.

workingDir

var workingDir: String?

Custom working directory for the Gradle script

Functions

clear

fun clear()

clearConditions

fun clearConditions()

Deletes all configured build step conditions

compoundParameter

fun <T : CompoundParam<T>> compoundParameter(customName: String? = null): DelegateProvider<T>

conditions

fun conditions(init: BuildStepConditions.() -> Unit = {})

copyParamsTo

fun <T : Parametrized> copyParamsTo(target: T): T

Copies parameters of this object to the specified target

create

open fun create(): BuildStep

Creates an instance of this build step via reflection using a no argument constructor, used during copying. Throws an error if this class doesn't have a default constructor. Subclasses can override it to create an instance without using a default constructor.
