Environment/Instance Properties

Property NameProperty CodeRequiredDescription
Gradle Home
FDGRD_GRADLE_HOME
No

Path where Gradle is installed. Value may include the bin folder (e.g. C:\installs\gradle or C:\installs\gradle\bin are allowed)

This folder should have a gradle executable (gradle for unix based systems & gradle.bat for windows)

Inputs

Input NameInput CodeRequiredDescription
Use Gradle Wrapper
FDGRD_INP_USE_GRADLE_WRAPPER
No

Check to use a Gradle Wrapper to execute the build

Set to false by default

If the value is false and the FDGRD_GRADLE_HOME is not set, then the latest version of gradle (currently: 5.6.2) is downloaded and set up

Project Source Folder
FDGRD_INP_PROJECT_LOCATION
NoPath to the project which contains a build file. If a relative path is given, a path inside FD_TEMP_DIR is assumed
Build File Name
FDGRD_INP_BUILD_FILE
NoSpecify the name of the desired Gradle build file if it is not build.gradle
Switches
FDGRD_INP_SWITCHES
No

Command-line switches separated by spaces (e.g. "--scan --all") 

Usage of certain switches is not allowed to avoid interference with plugin features and these are ignored even if present in the input(e.g. -b, --build-file, -x, -P, --project-prop, -D, --system-prop) 

Tasks
FDGRD_INP_TASKS
No

Gradle life cycle tasks to execute separated by spaces (e.g. "clean build")

If both FDGRD_INP_SWITCHES and FDGRD_INP_TASKS are left empty, then build is added as a default task

If FDGRD_INP_TASKS contains clean, then it is the first task executed

System Properties
FDGRD_INP_SYSTEM_PROPERTIES
No
Newline delimited. Sets a system property for the build process (e.g. gradle.wrapperUser=myuser)
Project Properties
FDGRD_INP_PROJECT_PROPERTIES
No
Newline delimited, Sets a project property of the root project (e.g. org.gradle.project.foo=bar)
Save Artifacts
FDGRD_INP_SAVE_ARTIFACTS
No

If checked, artifacts will be saved to the Artifacts folder automatically. Otherwise you may want to place a saveArtifacts step after this

All files present directly in the subfolder location are copied if checked

Artifacts Subfolder
FDGRD_INP_ARTIFACTS_SUBFOLDER
No

Subfolder inside the Project Location where artifacts are generated by gradle

Defaults to "build/libs"

If your artifacts need to come from another location, specify it instead

XML Test Results SubfolderFDGRD_INP_XML_TEST_RESULTS_DIRNo

Subfolder inside the Project Location where machine readable(XML) test result reports generated by gradle are to be stored

Defaults to "build/test-results/test"

Outputs

Output NameDescription


Artifacts

This operation produces artifacts if the FDGRD_INP_ARTIFACTS_SUBFOLDER is checked. Otherwise you may wish to use the file plugin to move the correct files to the artifacts folder later in the workflow.

Endpoint Selection

This operation delegates endpoint selection to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default the selection to "All", which selects all available endpoints associated to the environment instance.

Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the environment instance which have that resource defined.

Endpoint Execution

This operation delegates endpoint execution to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default to "Any", which will execute on any one of the selected endpoints, which will be randomly picked from selected endpoints or a specific endpoint where previous step may have executed. Changing this value to "All" to will result in execution on all selected endpoints.
