## Caching build state between Jobs
The `gradle-build-action` will use the GitHub Actions cache to save and restore reusable state that may be speed up a subsequent build invocation. This includes most content that is downloaded from the internet as part of a build, as well as expensive to create content like compiled build scripts, transformed Jar files, etc.

## Use the action to invoke Gradle
If the `gradle-build-action` is configured with an `arguments` input, then Gradle will execute a Gradle build with the arguments provided. NOTE: We recommend using the `gradle-build-action` as a "Setup Gradle" step as described above, with Gradle being invoked via a regular `run` command.
If no `arguments` are provided, the action will not execute Gradle, but will still cache Gradle state and configure build-scan capture for all subsequent Gradle executions.
```yaml
name: Run Gradle on PRs
on: pull_request
jobs:
gradle:
strategy:
matrix:
os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-java@v3
with:
distribution: temurin
java-version: 11
- name: Setup and execute Gradle 'test' task
uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
with:
arguments: test
```
### Multiple Gradle executions in the same Job
It is possible to configure multiple Gradle executions to run sequentially in the same job.
The initial Action step will perform the Gradle setup.
```yaml
- uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
with:
arguments: assemble
- uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
with:
arguments: check
```
### Gradle command-line arguments
The `arguments` input can be used to pass arbitrary arguments to the `gradle` command line.
Arguments can be supplied in a single line, or as a multi-line input.
Here are some valid examples:
```yaml
arguments: build
arguments: check --scan
arguments: some arbitrary tasks
arguments: build -PgradleProperty=foo
arguments: |
build
--scan
-PgradleProperty=foo
-DsystemProperty=bar
```
If you need to pass environment variables, use the GitHub Actions workflow syntax:
```yaml
- uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
env:
CI: true
with:
arguments: build
```
### Gradle build located in a subdirectory
By default, the action will execute Gradle in the root directory of your project.
Use the `build-root-directory` input to target a Gradle build in a subdirectory.
```yaml
- uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
with:
arguments: build
build-root-directory: some/subdirectory
```
### Using a specific Gradle executable
The action will first look for a Gradle wrapper script in the root directory of your project.
If not found, `gradle` will be executed from the PATH.
Use the `gradle-executable` input to execute using a specific Gradle installation.
```yaml
- uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
with:
arguments: build
gradle-executable: /path/to/installed/gradle
```
This mechanism can also be used to target a Gradle wrapper script that is located in a non-default location.
## Support for GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES)
You can use the `gradle-build-action` on GitHub Enterprise Server, and benefit from the improved integration with Gradle. Depending on the version of GHES you are running, certain features may be limited:
