build-bump-gradle-version

By JetBrains. Updated August 25, 2026. Categories: Automation Tools.

Bumps the Gradle wrapper/distribution version that BUILDS the Kotlin project itself — the version behind `./gradlew`, defined by `gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties`. Covers the wrapper regeneration and the version-specific fallout that follows it: removed/deprecated Gradle DSL, dependency-verification metadata, the Gradle Module Metadata fixtures, and the KGP functional tests. This is DISTINCT from the two sibling skills — it is NOT `build-tools-bump-gradle-api` (which bumps GRADLE_COMMON_COMPILE_API_VERSION, the API that plugins compile against) and NOT `build-tools-bump-gradle-in-tests` (which extends the KGP integration-test version matrix). Manual invocation only: a full run downloads a distribution, rewrites `gradle/verification-metadata.xml`, and drives `publish`, `testClasses` and `functionalTest` — hours of wall clock and a heavily mutated checkout — so it starts only when the user explicitly asks for `/build-bump-gradle-version`.
