A sample of .gitlab-ci.yml for a gradle project

.gitlab-ci.yml

image: java:8-jdk

stages:
  - build
  - test
  - deploy

before_script:
#  - echo `pwd` # debug
#  - echo "$CI_BUILD_NAME, $CI_BUILD_REF_NAME $CI_BUILD_STAGE" # debug
  - export GRADLE_USER_HOME=`pwd`/.gradle

cache:
  paths:
    - .gradle/wrapper
    - .gradle/caches

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - ./gradlew assemble
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - build/libs/*.jar
    expire_in: 1 week
  only:
    - master

test:
  stage: test
  script:
    - ./gradlew check

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - ./deploy

after_script:
  - echo "End CI"

How can we use secret variables as Gradle command line argument? For an example pass user credentials to publish task, Does anyone know a solution? You may answer on this SO, Thanks for the script.

variables:
  GRADLE_USER_HOME: '.gradle-cache'

Works fine for me

Very useful, thanks!

@nerzhul Don't spread false information. Ant isn't "deprecated", they just had a new release last March. That said, I do use Gradle for new projects. But this trend is no reason to wage FUD wars against other tech.

Thanks for this, new to CI and this has got me up and running :-)

Yep, thanks a lot!

can anyone provide where will be the default cache will be store and which artifacts we need to add for catching up results
