It would be awesome if i could ask a few questions around some of these projects before I work on my proposal. related to the expectations for the project and proposals.

Hello, I am Igor Manninen, student currently on the second year of the university. Now I'm exploring JVM stack of technologies and find out, that I have to know Gradle well, so I think GSoC 2024 is a great chance to do it. Stack of technologies I know: • Kotlin, Java, Gradle (a bit) • Python • C, C++ • Knowledge of architecture patterns and system design principles • Functional programming (Haskell) Projects I'm interested in: • Kotlin DSL documentation samples test framework • Kotlin DSL improvements for declarative Gradle

Dear Gradle team, this is Ethan Xu. I recently graduated from UC Berkeley as an undergraduate CS major and will begin graduate study this Fall. I have industry experience with cloud-based web applications and research experiences in LLM serving systems and fault-tolerant distributed systems. I am proficient in languages including Java, Go, C/C++, Rust, etc. In my most recent project, I led an agile team to develop an AI-powered notes application, utilizing Spring Boot for backend development & Gradle-Kotlin for build automation. To enhance code quality and application stability, I also designed comprehensive testing protocols including unit (JUnit, Mockito), integration (pytest), and end-to-end testing (Postman), plus load testing (JMeter). I am really excited about the opportunity to contribute within the Gradle community. In particular, I am most interested in extending the *Gradle Build Serve*r to enhance project import and setup, etc. I have been reading through various Gradle guides and looking for smaller issues to start with, but I had trouble locating the most relevant ones for build server. If you could provide more guidance and point me to specific issues and/or files within the main repository, that would be really helpful! I greatly appreciate your time.

Hello Gradle team, is this something that you'd like a PR for? If so, any immediate feedback or change in direction (besides javadoc and such that needs to be completed)? https://github.com/oesolutions/gradle/pull/1/files

Hello everyone, hope you are doing great! I'm Stefanos and would like to contribute to this amazing build tool. I'm thinking in particular about issue #26110. Anyone knows the status of it? I have a fix, but I'm not familiar with the process. Should I just push it or discuss it first?

Hello awesome Gradle community! I have a few questions about contributing (sorry if they are kinda obvious to most of you) 1. How do you avoid the situation in which two or more contributors are trying to fix the same thing? 2. Are there "up for grabs" issues that anyone can start tackling right away no questions asked? If yes how can i recognize them? 3. Is there a way to get an issue assigned, and how would I go about that? 4. Is it acceptable to just open an issue and push the fix along with it? 5. Is there any document that explains what each of the GitHub labels means?

FYI, the Gradle community sub-site is now available from https://community.gradle.org/ . All external links to the previous location are automatically redirected, but now we get a nice link for the collaborative content. Contributions are welcome!

set the channel topic: Anything about contributing to Gradle and the open source repositories within its ecosystem. Contributor guide: https://community.gradle.org/contributing/

Hey folks, We are interested in use cases and requirements for project subtree configuration APIs that are Isolated Projects safe. At this point, we are not certain whether such APIs need to be introduced at all. Please leave your comments on this issue and share it with others who might contribute use cases: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/29400

Anyone have an idea how to get the task dependencies for a

ResolvableArtifact

? (Yes, I'm talking about internal classes, this is for a PR from code within Gradle)

i'm trying to get gradle working on z/OS USS working. I downloaded the source, but I don't see document on how to build. USS is the unix subsystem for the mainframe. Its kind of like an old linux. I'm doing this because when I tried to use the binaries, it seems to be failing on the daemon filing to open text files which might be in ebcdic rather than ascii. I figure if I build from source that might be omitted with a simple build on the system rather than using .class files from a pc build. Any pointers is appreciated.

Hi, I would like to contribute to the #1322 issue - could I discuss the target solution with somebody? I described one possible option in the comment but I'm open to take a different approach 🙂

Looking at making a community contribution for #30088 -- my intuition is that this would just entail exposing the relevant stuff (selecting capabilities, excludes list) in

DirectDependencyMetadata

-- anything in particular I should consider here?

I was wondering if I could help code applications like a chatbot and things like that.

Does Gradle provide binaries for each PR by default? I run into this issue https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/30402 and there is a PR https://github.com/gradle/gradle/pull/31070 that I would like to try. (Of course I can also built it locally)

Hi and good morning, I would like to contribute a report ;) on some QA issues with the native-platforms and gradle-fileevents public repositories on GitHub: • the latest tag on

native-platforms

is

0.22-milestone-25

but the binary distribution of Gradle 8.11 ships with a

0.22-milestone-26

that is not tagged nor released there •

gradle.properties

on the main branch

master

of

native-platforms

still has

nextMilestone=14

which is out of sync with the tags •

gradle-fileevents

has tags up to

0.2.5

last week, but again the binary distributin of Gradle 8.11 ships with a

0.22-milestone-26

version of that lib that is in neither repo. Could some person in charge please push updates (or maybe just tags) to the public repos on GitHub?

Hey Team, i ran

./gradlew :dependency-management:embeddedIntegTest --tests "org.gradle.integtests.resolve.catalog.CatalogPluginsKotlinDSLIntegrationTest.can declare multiple catalogs" --stacktrace --info  --debug

To run an IT on my local, but it is throwing the error

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':dependency-management:compileIntegTestGroovy'.
> The 'tools.jar' cannot be found in the JDK '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home'.

I am on MACOS 14.5 (23F79), Macbook Air M1 2020 My JAVA_HOME is set to

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-17.jdk/Contents/Home

The above error shows a completely different path its searching. Please help

Hi, I want to reproduce this scenario, in an integration test. I have tried using the traditional method, but it doesn't work as it doesn't execute the initialization scripts. Please guide me on executing the init script in the integration test environment.

Hi Team, I hope you’re doing well! I’d like to submit a blog post titled “Build Faster, Ship Sooner: Our Journey from 15 to 3 Minutes” for consideration in the next Gradle issue. The post shares our team’s experience in optimizing Gradle build times using techniques like Gradle Build Cache and Gradle Remote build cache node, detailing the challenges we faced, the strategies we implemented, and the lessons we learned, which I believe will resonate wit the Gradle community. You can find the blog here: https://www.headout.studio/build-faster-ship-sooner-our-journey-from-15-to-3-minutes/. Please let me know if this could be featured in Gradle Build Tool Newsletter, or anything? Best regards, Alpesh

Wanted to ask about https://github.com/gradle/actions/issues/502. Is there a better place to ask a question about this or look for comments?

Component metadata rules currently don't support adding capabilities, exclude rules, or artifact selectors to dependencies created by the rule. There's open issues for this (such as https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/30088), and someone mentioned on one that though there are not current plans to add this, it might be possible for a community contribution to do so. I am working on this; these three missing features of the API are reasonably similar, and some of the changes needed to implement this would be shared. Would it be best to open one PR for each (exclude rules, capabilities, and artifact selectors), or a PR for all three?

I've started working on https://github.com/gradle/actions/issues/502#issue-2763431712 and opened some PRs (e.g. https://github.com/gradle/actions/pull/504). Is there a channel or group to message/tag for reviewers? I acknowledge time is not going to be immediate, but wanted to ensure they're seen.

Hi, Is there a way to test my local Gradle installation as a "wrapper" ?

Hello team, I've been stuck with this for some days. Any idea what i'm doing wrong? These are my dependencies:

classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2')
        classpath('com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15')
        classpath('com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin')
        classpath('org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.8.10')

I have this in my buildscript ext in android/build.gradle:

ext {
        buildToolsVersion = findProperty('android.buildToolsVersion') ?: '34.0.0'
        minSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(findProperty('android.minSdkVersion') ?: '21')
        compileSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(findProperty('android.compileSdkVersion') ?: '34')
        targetSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(findProperty('android.targetSdkVersion') ?: '34')
        kotlinVersion = findProperty('android.kotlinVersion') ?: '1.8.10'
        frescoVersion = findProperty('expo.frescoVersion') ?: '2.5.0'
        ndkVersion = "23.1.7779620"
    }

And this is my wrapper:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.0.1-all.zip
networkTimeout=10000
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

Hi Team, I'm trying to contribute to gradle and I created a PR at github three weeks ago: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/pull/32102 Unfortunately nobody is answering. Is there a way to contact the Gradle team?
