Fixing #270 will somewhat mitigate the performance overhead added by provisioning the latest Gradle as part of cache-cleanup.
from actions.
@bigdaz thanks for churning through everything in 4.0!
Have tested out 4.0.0-rc.1 - after removing previous D: workaround and dropping in 4.0.0-rc.1, happy to report that all is well - everything ran as expected, the performance gains remained, the log out put confirms that GRADLE_USER_HOME is set on D:.
from actions.
Thanks for pointing out this issue and the recommendation. Yes, this would be a breaking change because workflows may already be bound to the current Gradle User Home location.
Have you found the above workaround to make a significant different to performance?
from actions.
Adding in the above snippet took a GH build w/ a small-ish Gradle (really just a few custom plugins for versioning as the main build on this one was dotnet) from an erratic 9-20m to consistent 5-6m.
from actions.
This (from kotest) is perhaps a more reliable approach - using a link for .gradle
instead of relocating it; this would preserve any existing use of the current gradle home location (as the location doesn't really change, at least from a consumer perspective). There may be some rough edges with consumers (other than Gradle) that don't properly process the link.
from actions.
Related: setup-action 3.5.0 has the new super-fancy cache-cleanup (which works amazing btw, previous cleanup wasn't catching old gradle distributions etc, nice and clean now).
That enhancement downloads (or restores from GH cache) the latest stable Gradle distribution; it stores this under the user home, which on Windows runners is on the Very Slow C: drive (a lot of the latencies noted above were from restoring multiple gradle distributions from cache). Should likely be in runner.temp
instead (on Windows runners this is already on the D: drive).

@cloudshiftchris I'm not sure that RUNNER_TEMP
is the right place to install Gradle, but it's an option if it makes a difference. Can you tell me what RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE
points to on a Windows runner?

@cloudshiftchris I'm not sure that

points to on a Windows runner?
Below are all the env vars for windows-latest
as of an hour ago (this is dumped out as the first step in workflow, before anything else muddies the environment).
RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE=C:\hostedtoolcache\windows
- this is why tooling such as setup-go
create symlinks in here to the D: drive, so things show up "where they are expected to be" but are actually on the fast D: drive.
Arguably the Gradle install for cache cleanup is temporary/transient - it's internal, for that sole purpose. Likely should either be in a temporary dir, or homed alongside other stuff in .gradle
. Doesn't seem worth creating another place to store "gradle stuff" if it isn't transient.

@cloudshiftchris I've implemented the fix to use D:
where possible: the fix is in the v4 release candidate.
If you could test it out using gradle/actions/[email protected]
that would be helpful.
from actions.
Thanks for trying it out. I'll likely let the RC soak for a couple of weeks before pushing a v4
tag. (I'm on vacation the coming weeks and won't have time to deal with any fallout).
