This GitHub Action is designed to build a Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) web application using Gradle. It automates the process of setting up the development environment, caching dependencies, and packaging the web application.

Required: Yes

• Description: Name of the web project module
• Used to specify the correct path for building and uploading the web app artifact

• Description: Name of the generated artifact
• Value: web-app

    A[Start Action] --> B[Set up Java Development Environment\nJava 17 with Zulu OpenJDK]
    B --> C[Setup Gradle]

    D --> E[Run jsBrowserDistribution\nPackage Web Application]
    E --> F[Upload Web App Artifact]
    F --> G[End Action]

The action performs the following steps:

1. Set up Java Development Environment

   • Uses Zulu distribution of OpenJDK
   • Configures Java version 17

2. Setup Gradle

   • Prepares Gradle for building the project

3. Cache Management

   • Caches Gradle dependencies, build outputs, and Kotlin/Native artifacts
   • Speeds up subsequent builds by reusing cached components
   • Caches include:
     • Gradle caches
     • Gradle wrapper
     • Kotlin/Native artifacts
     • Build directory

4. Package Web Application

   • Runs ./gradlew jsBrowserDistribution to create the web app distribution

5. Artifact Upload

   • Uploads the web app artifact from the specified module's build directory

• GitHub Actions runner with bash support
• Gradle project configured for Kotlin Multiplatform
• Java 17
• Zulu OpenJDK distribution

• Ensure your Gradle build scripts are configured for JS browser distribution
• Verify that the web_package_name matches your project's module structure
• Use consistent Gradle and Java versions across local and CI environments

• Check Gradle logs if the build fails
• Verify that the jsBrowserDistribution task is correctly configured in your build script
• Ensure all necessary dependencies are declared in your Gradle files
