@Vampire maybe you'll know as a Windows-man 🙂 I want to make this change to be able to use Gradle 8: https://github.com/krzema12/github-workflows-kt/pull/684 but I'm getting this on Windows:

No compatible toolchains found for request specification: {languageVersion=11, vendor=any, implementation=vendor-specific} (auto-detect true, auto-download false).

it seems a bit weird, 11 is still pretty popular - why wouldn't it be available? I'm checking the included software and Java 11 is there 🤔

[Vampire]

Don't insult me. :-(
I'm just forced to use Window on my work laptop that I can also use privately.
I'm a Linux guy.

The toolchain lookup only looks at some defined places. I guess the GHA places are not where it looks (documentation tells where that is). And with Gradle 8 you don't get auto-provisioning anymore if you don't supply a provider like the foojay plugin. You could also instruct Gradle to look into those environment variables or use setup-java action before the Gradle run so that it is already running on Java 11.

sorry for the unintended insult! 😄

oh, I forgot to update the version in setup-java 🤦 https://github.com/krzema12/github-workflows-kt/blob/eaeba522d904c6b9f6b4f5f548b83f738a29636d/.github/workflows/_shared.main.kts#L13 thanks!

Your should also remove the Zulu there, then it can use a Java installer from the hosted tools cache. I don't think Zulus are in there, but I might be wrong

[Piotr Krzemiński]

removing the vendor won’t hurt, I’m not sure why I specified it there

[Vampire]

Probably for the same reason you had it in the toolchain spec

[Piotr Krzemiński]

yes

[Piotr Krzemiński]

for consistency

[Piotr Krzemiński]

fun fact: the distribution is required in setup-java 🤷

[Piotr Krzemiński]

not a big deal for now, it will take slightly longer to complete the workflow

[Vampire]

Ah, right, had that "Problem" too, as I had to use 11 for the Gradle run now as two plugins I use need it in their latest versions.
