Wrapper Upgrade Gradle Plugin

The Wrapper Upgrade Gradle Plugin creates tasks to upgrade the Gradle Wrapper for target projects hosted on GitHub.

Usage

Apply the plugin to a dedicated project and configure which project needs to be upgraded. Example:

Kotlin DSL

plugins {
    id("base")
    id("org.gradle.wrapper-upgrade") version "0.11.1"
}

wrapperUpgrade {
    gradle {
        register("some-gradle-project") {
            repo.set("my-org/some-gradle-project")
            baseBranch.set("release")
        }
        register("some-samples-gradle-project") {
            repo.set("my-org/some-samples-gradle-project")
            dir.set("samples")
        }
    }

    maven {
        register("some-maven-project") {
            repo.set("my-org/some-maven-project")
            baseBranch.set("release")
        }
        register("some-samples-maven-project") {
            repo.set("my-org/some-samples-maven-project")
            baseBranch.set("samples")
        }
    }
}

Groovy DSL

plugins {
    id 'base'
    id 'org.gradle.wrapper-upgrade' version '0.11.1'
}

wrapperUpgrade {
    gradle {
        'some-gradle-project' {
            repo = 'my-org/some-gradle-project'
            baseBranch = 'release'
        }
        'some-samples-gradle-project' {
            repo = 'my-org/some-samples-gradle-project'
            dir = 'samples'
        }
    }

    maven {
        'some-maven-project' {
            repo = 'my-org/some-maven-project'
            baseBranch = 'release'
        }
        'some-samples-maven-project' {
            repo = 'my-org/some-samples-maven-project'
            dir = 'samples'
        }
    }
}

This will create one task per configured project and 2 aggregating tasks: upgradeGradleWrapperAll and upgradeMavenWrapperAll that will run all the specific tasks.

Running ./gradlew upgradeGradleWrapperXXX will:

• clone the project XXX in build/git-clones
• run in the cloned project ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=<latest_gradle_version>
• run a second time ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=<latest_gradle_version>
• If changes occurred
  • create a specific branch
  • commit and push the branch
  • create a pull request on Github, it requires a Github access token, passed with WRAPPER_UPGRADE_GIT_TOKEN environment variable.

Note that a check is done first to make sure the branch does not exist yet. That way you can run upgradeGradleWrapperAll and upgradeMavenWrapperAll periodically with a cron, CI job... a bit like dependabot does for upgrading libs.

Running upgradeMavenWrapperXXX will do the same, executing ./mvnw wrapper:wrapper -Dmaven=<latest_maven_version> instead.

Configuration

wrapperUpgrade {
    <gradle|maven> {
        name {
            repo = ...
            baseBranch = ...
            dir = ...
            options {
                gitCommitExtraArgs = [...]
                allowPreRelease = [...]
            }
        }
    }
}

Field	description
name	A name identifying the upgrade, it can be different from the project name, for example when you need to upgrade multiple gradle projects in the same git project
repo	The Github repository to clone, format 'organization/project`
dir	The directory inside the project base directory to run the gradle or maven upgrade in
baseBranch	The git branch to checkout and that the pull request will target
options.gitCommitExtraArgs	List of additional git commit arguments
options.allowPreRelease	Boolean: true will get the latest Maven/Gradle version even if it's a pre-release. Default is false.
