# Deprecation upgrade guide
As these actions evolve, certain inputs, behaviour and usages are deprecated for removal.
Deprecated functionality will be fully supported during the current major release, and will be
removed in the next major release.
Users will receive a deprecation warning when they rely on deprecated functionality,
prompting them to update their workflows.
## The action `gradle/gradle-build-action` has been replaced by `gradle/actions/setup-gradle`
The `gradle-build-action` action has evolved, so that the core functionality is now to configure the
Gradle environment for GitHub Actions. For clarity and consistency with other action (eg `setup-java`, `setup-node`), the `gradle-build-action` has been replaced by the `setup-gradle` action.
As of `v3.x`, the `setup-gradle` and `gradle-build-action` actions are functionally identical,
and are released with the same versions.
To convert your workflows, simply replace:
```
uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v3
```
with
```
uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3
```
## Using the action to execute Gradle via the `arguments` parameter is deprecated
The core functionality of the `setup-gradle` (and `gradle-build-action`) actions is to configure your
Gradle environment for GitHub Actions. Once the action has run, any subsequent Gradle executions will
benefit from caching, reporting and other features of the action.
Using the `arguments` parameter to execute Gradle directly is not necessary to benefit from this action.
This input is deprecated, and will be removed in the `v4` major release of the action.
To convert your workflows, replace any steps using the `arguments` parameter with 2 steps: one to `setup-gradle` and another that runs your Gradle build.
For example, given a workflow like this:
```
steps:
- name: Assemble the project
uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3
with:
arguments: 'assemble'
- name: Run the tests
uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3
with:
arguments: 'test'
- name: Run build in a subdirectory
uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3
with:
build-root-directory: another-build
arguments: 'build'
```
Then replace this with a single call to `setup-gradle` together with separate `run` steps to execute your build.
The exact syntax depends on whether or not your project is configured with the [Gradle wrapper](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html).
##### Project uses Gradle wrapper
```
- name: Setup Gradle
uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3
- name: Assemble the project
run: ./gradlew assemble
- name: Run the tests
run: ./gradlew test
- name: Run build in a subdirectory
working-directory: another-build
run: ./gradlew build
```
##### Project doesn't use Gradle wrapper
```
- name: Setup Gradle for a non-wrapper project
uses: gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3
with:
gradle-version: 8.7
- name: Assemble the project
run: gradle assemble
- name: Run the tests
run: gradle test
- name: Run build in a subdirectory
working-directory: another-build
run: gradle build
```
Using the action in this way gives you more control over how Gradle is executed, while still giving you
all of the benefits of the `setup-gradle` action.
The `arguments` parameter is scheduled to be removed in `setup-gradle@v4`.
Note: if you are using the `gradle-build-action`, [see here](#the-action-gradlegradle-build-action-has-been-replaced-by-gradleactionssetup-gradle) for more details on how to migrate.
## The `build-scan-terms-of-service` input parameters have been renamed
With recent releases of the `com.gradle.develocity` plugin, key input parameters have been renamed.
- `build-scan-terms-of-service-url` is now `build-scan-terms-of-use-url`
- `build-scan-terms-of-service-agree` is now `build-scan-terms-of-use-agree`
The standard URL for the terms of use has also changed to https://gradle.com/help/legal-terms-of-use
To convert your workflows, change:
```
build-scan-publish: true
build-scan-terms-of-service-url: "https://gradle.com/terms-of-service"
build-scan-terms-of-service-agree: "yes"
```
to this:
```
build-scan-publish: true
build-scan-terms-of-use-url: "https://gradle.com/help/legal-terms-of-use"
build-scan-terms-of-use-agree: "yes"
```
These deprecated build-scan parameters are scheduled to be removed in `setup-gradle@v4` and `dependency-submission@v4`.
