Summary

  • Upgrade the Gradle wrapper to 9.5.1 (with distribution checksum) and the Ballerina Gradle plugin to 4.0.0, needed for Java 21/25 compatibility.
  • Fix Gradle 9 breakage: project.exec calls now use an injected ExecOperations, com.gradle.enterprise is migrated to com.gradle.develocity, any task build {} redefinition is replaced with tasks.named('build'), and checkstyle's build.gradle drops the deprecated buildDir property.

Test plan

  • ./gradlew clean build passes locally on Gradle 9.5.1 with plugin 4.0.0

Summary

  • Upgraded the Gradle wrapper to 9.5.1 with checksum verification.
  • Upgraded the Ballerina Gradle plugin and related build tools.
  • Replaced deprecated Gradle APIs with supported alternatives.
  • Migrated build scan configuration from Gradle Enterprise to Develocity.
  • Updated build task and build directory configuration for Gradle 9 compatibility.
  • Updated the Copybook CLI dependency to 1.1.1-SNAPSHOT.
  • Migrated pull request builds to the reusable ballerina-library workflow.
  • Verified the changes with ./gradlew clean build.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates Gradle tooling, migrates build paths to provider APIs, adjusts root task wiring, uses injected ExecOperations, updates the CLI snapshot artifact reference, and delegates pull request builds to a reusable workflow.

Changes

Gradle modernization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gradle platform upgrades
gradle.properties, gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, settings.gradle
Plugin versions and the Gradle wrapper are updated. Wrapper checksum verification and Develocity configuration are added.
Build script modernization
build.gradle, build-config/checkstyle/build.gradle, copybook-cli/build.gradle
The root build task handles existing or missing task definitions. Build paths use provider APIs. Checkstyle tests run after rule-file downloads.
Tool build integration
copybook-tool/build.gradle, copybook-tool/BalTool.toml
Git commands use injected ExecOperations. The tool references copybook-cli-1.1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar.
Pull request workflow integration
.github/workflows/pull-request.yml
Pull request builds use the reusable Ballerina Library workflow for repositories owned by ballerina-platform and inherit repository secrets.

Pass only CODECOV_TOKEN to the reusable workflow.

The called workflow declares only CODECOV_TOKEN but serializes the entire secrets context into GITHUB_ENV. Replace inheritance with an explicit allowlist.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
