    - Verify: `gradle --version`
    - Or use Gradle Wrapper (recommended)
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies and fixes an inconsistency in the required Gradle version across the documentation, which improves clarity and prevents potential build issues for developers.

Low
Normalize Gradle version requirement

Change the Gradle version from "7.6+" to "7.0+" to be consistent with
requirements mentioned elsewhere in the documentation.

.gradle-docs/CONVERSION_SUMMARY.md [553-555]

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies and fixes an inconsistency in the required Gradle version across the documentation, which improves clarity and prevents potential build issues for developers.

Low
General
Clarify 7-Zip CLI expectations

Clarify 7-Zip requirements by noting the expected executable names (7z.exe or
7zz.exe) and common installation paths to prevent packaging failures.

.gradle-docs/BUILD_TASKS.md [128-130]

 **Requirements**:
 - 7-Zip must be installed
 - Or `7Z_HOME` environment variable set
+- Ensure the 7-Zip CLI is available as `7z.exe` (or `7zz.exe` if using the standalone version) in PATH or under `%7Z_HOME%`. Common paths:
+  - `C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe`
+  - `C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zz.exe`
+- If only `7zz.exe` is available, configure your environment or wrapper script so the build can invoke it (the packaging task requires a valid 7-Zip CLI).
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5

__

Why: This is a helpful documentation improvement that clarifies a potential build environment issue regarding different 7-Zip executable names, which could prevent runtime failures for users.

Low
Specify exact hash file format

Clarify the hash file format by specifying it uses lowercase hex, a single space
separator, and provide an example. Add a note about potential format differences
with external verification tools.

.gradle-docs/BUILD_TASKS.md [172-175]

 **Hash Format**:

-

+Example:
+```
+d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e bearsampp-ruby-3.4.5-2025.8.16.7z
+```
+Note:
+- The hash is lowercase hexadecimal.
+- The filename is separated by a single space (no asterisk). Some external tools (e.g., md5sum/sha256sum) may output `"<hash>  <filename>"` (two spaces) or `"<hash> *<filename>"`; adjust your verification command accordingly.
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5

__

Why: This suggestion improves the documentation by providing a more precise description of the hash file format, including an example and notes on compatibility with verification tools, which helps prevent user errors.

High-level
Reduce excessive documentation to prevent maintenance burden

The suggestion recommends reducing the extensive documentation to a single,
concise guide. It argues that the current level of detail creates a high
maintenance burden and that the build script should be made more
self-documenting instead.

Examples:

 ... (clipped 706 lines)

Solution Walkthrough:

Before:

// File structure with excessive documentation
.gradle-docs/
├── README.md (300+ lines, index)
├── BUILD_TASKS.md (600+ lines, detailed task reference)
├── DEVELOPMENT.md (700+ lines, internal implementation details)
├── TROUBLESHOOTING.md (800+ lines, specific error messages)
├── CONVERSION_SUMMARY.md (500+ lines, migration log)
└── ... (other docs)

// Example from BUILD_TASKS.md
#### `release`
**Description**: Main release task that builds and packages the Ruby module.
**Usage**: gradle release -PbundleVersion=3.4.5
**Dependencies**: `clean`, `resolveVersion`, `packageRelease`
**Output**: Archive: `...`, Hash files: `...`
... (and so on for every task)

After:

// Simplified file structure
├── README.md (or DEVELOPMENT.md)
    - Quick Start (how to build)
    - Overview of main tasks (`release`, `clean`, `verify`)
    - Configuration (`build.properties`)
    - How to add a new version
    - "For a full list of tasks, run `gradle tasks`"

// In build.gradle (conceptual)
tasks.register('release') {
    group = 'build'
    description = 'Main release task. Builds and packages the Ruby module. Use -PbundleVersion=x.y.z or run interactively.'
    // ... task logic
}

tasks.register('verify') {
    group = 'verification'
    description = 'Verifies the build environment is properly configured (Java, properties files, etc.).'
    // ... task logic
}
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

__

Why: This is a significant strategic suggestion that correctly identifies a major long-term maintenance risk with the excessive and tightly-coupled documentation, proposing a more sustainable, standard approach.

Medium
General
Remove deprecated Gradle configuration property

Remove the deprecated org.gradle.configureondemand=false property from
gradle.properties to prevent potential build issues and align with modern Gradle
practices.

gradle.properties [16]

-org.gradle.configureondemand=false
 
+
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that the org.gradle.configureondemand property is deprecated and can cause issues, recommending its removal to align with modern Gradle practices and improve maintainability.

Low
Possible issue
Use CALL for consistent script execution

In the example install.bat script, add CALL to the second gem.cmd execution and
include an ERRORLEVEL check for consistent control flow and improved error
handling.

.gradle-docs/DEVELOPMENT.md [258-261]

 CALL "%RUBYBINPATH%\gem.cmd" install rubygems-update.gem --local --no-document
 IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%
 
-"%RUBYBINPATH%\gem.cmd" update --system --no-document
+CALL "%RUBYBINPATH%\gem.cmd" update --system --no-document
+IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a potential control flow issue in the example batch script and improves its robustness by adding CALL and an error check, which is a good practice.

Executes: cleanresolveVersionreleaseBuildpackageReleasegenerateHashescleanupTempFiles

Verify Before Build

gradle verify
gradle release -PbundleVersion=3.4.5

List and Build

gradle listVersions
gradle release -PbundleVersion=3.4.5

Clean and Rebuild

gradle clean
gradle release -PbundleVersion=3.4.5

Note: clean is automatically called by release, so this is redundant but explicit.

Task Properties

Common Properties

Property Description Example
-PbundleVersion Specifies which version to build -PbundleVersion=3.4.5
-PbundleVersion=* Builds the latest version -PbundleVersion=*

Gradle Options

Option Description Example
--info Show info-level logging gradle release --info
--debug Show debug-level logging gradle release --debug

Task Execution Examples

Example 1: Interactive Build

$ gradle release

Available ruby versions (index, version, location):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
   1. 2.7.6        [bin/archived]
   2. 2.7.8        [bin/archived]
   3. 3.4.5        [bin]
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Enter version to build (index or version string): 3

Selected version: 3.4.5

Processing bundle: ruby3.4.5
Version: 3.4.5
...
[SUCCESS] Release build completed successfully for version 3.4.5

Example 2: Non-Interactive Build

$ gradle release -PbundleVersion=3.4.5

Selected version: 3.4.5

Processing bundle: ruby3.4.5
Version: 3.4.5
Source folder: E:/Bearsampp-development/bearsampp-build/tmp/extract/ruby/3.4.5
...
[SUCCESS] Release build completed successfully for version 3.4.5

Example 3: Build Latest Version

$ gradle release -PbundleVersion=*

Resolved latest version: 3.4.5

Processing bundle: ruby3.4.5
...
[SUCCESS] Release build completed successfully for version 3.4.5

Example 4: Verify Environment

$ gradle verify

Verifying build environment for module-ruby...

Environment Check Results:
------------------------------------------------------------
  [PASS]     Java 8+
  [PASS]     build.properties
  [PASS]     releases.properties
  [PASS]     bin directory
------------------------------------------------------------

[SUCCESS] All checks passed! Build environment is ready.

Troubleshooting Tasks

Check Task Dependencies

gradle release --dry-run

Shows what tasks would be executed without actually running them.

Debug Task Execution

gradle release -PbundleVersion=3.4.5 --info

Shows detailed information about task execution.

Force Task Re-execution

gradle release -PbundleVersion=3.4.5 --rerun-tasks

Forces all tasks to run even if they're up-to-date.

Performance Tips

Use Gradle Daemon

The Gradle daemon improves build performance by keeping Gradle running in the background.

# Daemon is enabled by default
gradle release -PbundleVersion=3.4.5

# Disable daemon if needed
gradle release -PbundleVersion=3.4.5 --no-daemon

Parallel Execution

For future enhancements, Gradle supports parallel task execution:

gradle release -PbundleVersion=3.4.5 --parallel

Build Cache

Gradle's build cache can speed up builds:

gradle release -PbundleVersion=3.4.5 --build-cache
