## Build reporting
The `gradle-build-action` collects information about any Gradle executions that occur in a workflow, and reports these via
a Job Summary, visible in the GitHub Actions UI. For each Gradle execution, details about the invocation are listed, together with
a link to any Build Scan® published.
The `gradle-build-action` collects information about any Gradle executions that occur in a workflow, including the root project,
requested tasks, build outcome and any Build Scan link generated. Details of cache entries read and written are also collected.
These details are compiled into a Job Summary, which is visible in the GitHub Actions UI.
Generation of a Job Summary is enabled by default. If this is not desired, it can be disable as follows:
Generation of a Job Summary is enabled by default for all Jobs using the `gradle-build-action`. This feature can be configured
so that a Job Summary is never generated, or so that a Job Summary is only generated on build failure:
```yaml
generate-job-summary: false
add-job-summary: 'on-failure' # Valid values are 'always' (default), 'never', and 'on-failure'
```
Note that the action collects information about Gradle invocations via an [Initialization Script](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/init_scripts.html#sec:using_an_init_script)
located at `USER_HOME/.gradle/init.d/build-result-capture.init.gradle`.
If you are using init scripts for the [Gradle Enterprise Gradle Plugin](https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.gradle.enterprise) like
[`scans-init.gradle` or `gradle-enterprise-init.gradle`](https://docs.gradle.com/enterprise/gradle-plugin/#scans_gradle_com),
you'll need to ensure these files are applied prior to `build-result-capture.init.gradle`.
Since Gradle applies init scripts in alphabetical order, one way to ensure this is via file naming.
### Adding Job Summary as a Pull Request comment
### Build Scan® link as Step output
It is sometimes more convenient to view the results of a GitHub Actions Job directly from the Pull Request that triggered
the Job. For this purpose you can configure the action so that Job Summary data is added as a Pull Request comment.
As well as reporting the [Build Scan](https://gradle.com/build-scans/) link in the Job Summary,
the `gradle-build-action` action makes this link available as a Step output named `build-scan-url`.
You can then use that link in subsequent actions of your workflow. For example:
```yaml
# .github/workflows/gradle-build-pr.yml
name: Run Gradle on PRs
on: pull_request
name: CI
on:
pull_request:
permissions:
pull-requests: write
jobs:
gradle:
run-gradle-build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout project sources
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Setup Gradle
uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
- name: Run build with Gradle wrapper
id: gradle
run: ./gradlew build --scan
- name: "Add Build Scan URL as PR comment"
uses: actions/github-script@v5
if: github.event_name == 'pull_request' && failure()
uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v3
with:
github-token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
script: |
github.rest.issues.createComment({
issue_number: context.issue.number,
owner: context.repo.owner,
repo: context.repo.repo,
body: '❌ ${{ github.workflow }} failed: ${{ steps.gradle.outputs.build-scan-url }}'
})
add-job-summary-as-pr-comment: on-failure # Valid values are 'never' (default), 'always', and 'on-failure'
- run: ./gradlew build --scan
```
### Saving build outputs
Note that in order to add a Pull Request comment, the workflow must be configured with the `pull-requests: write` permission.
By default, a GitHub Actions workflow using `gradle-build-action` will record the log output and any Build Scan links for your build,
but any output files generated by the build will not be saved.
### Build Scan® link as Step output
As well as reporting all [Build Scan](https://gradle.com/build-scans/) links in the Job Summary,
the `gradle-build-action` action makes this link available an an output of any Step that executes Gradle.
The output name is `build-scan-url`. You can then use the build scan link in subsequent actions of your workflow.
### Saving arbitrary build outputs
By default, a GitHub Actions workflow using `gradle-build-action` will record the log output and any Build Scan
links for your build, but any output files generated by the build will not be saved.
To save selected files from your build execution, you can use the core [Upload-Artifact](https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact) action.

### Use of custom init-scripts in Gradle User Home
Note that the action collects information about Gradle invocations via an [Initialization Script](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/init_scripts.html#sec:using_an_init_script)
located at `USER_HOME/.gradle/init.d/gradle-build-action.build-result-capture.init.gradle`.
If you are adding any custom init scripts to the `USER_HOME/.gradle/init.d` directory, it may be necessary to ensure these files are applied prior to `gradle-build-action.build-result-capture.init.gradle`.
Since Gradle applies init scripts in alphabetical order, one way to ensure this is via file naming.
## 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:
