Maintenance help needed on Groovy track

Programming Groovy
1

On the Groovy track, there’s a dependabot PR that wants to upgrade the gradle/actions/wrapper-validation … what’s it called, a package?

Anyway, the upgrade is from v3.x to v4.0, and the release notes say

Major changes from the v3 release
The arguments parameter has been removed

Using the action to execute Gradle via the arguments parameter was deprecated in v3 and this parameter has been removed. See here for more details.

And guess what? The workflow uses the arguments parameter

gradle-build.yml

Call to action

for anyone willing to jump in to make the necessary changes.

The “argument” deprecation only related to the gradle/actions/* actions, while specific workflow uses arguments for eskatos/gradle-command-action (which is not updated by this PR). Bump gradle/actions from 3.5.0 to 4.1.0 by dependabot[bot] · Pull Request #457 · exercism/groovy · GitHub is also green.
