jdaugherty opened a new pull request, #16553:
URL: https://github.com/apache/grails-core/pull/16553
## Summary
Forge UI needs to know when a Grails release line stops being supported so
it can flag deprecated or unsupported versions. Grails Forge now returns that
date from `/versions`:
```json
{
"versions": { "grails.version": "7.0.17", "...": "..." },
"endOfSupport": "2026-10-31",
"_links": { "...": "..." }
}
```
- The date is stored once per release branch as `grailsEndOfSupport` (ISO
`yyyy-MM-dd`) in the root `gradle.properties`.
- It is written into the forge version info at build time. An invalid date
fails the forge build.
- Snapshot builds never report it: `endOfSupport` is omitted from the
response.
- It is not added to the `versions` map, which stays a map of dependency
versions.
## Per-branch values
Each branch keeps its own value. When this is merged up, `gradle.properties`
will be set per branch:
| Branch | `grailsEndOfSupport` |
| --- | --- |
| 7.0.x | 2026-10-31 |
| 7.1.x | 2026-10-31 |
| 7.2.x | 2026-12-31 |
| 8.0.x | 2027-07-31 |
| 8.1.x | 2027-07-31 |
| 9.0.x | 2027-12-31 |
## Testing
- `VersionInfoSpec`: a release build reports the date. A snapshot build, a
missing value or a malformed value reports nothing. The date never appears in
the versions map.
- `ApplicationControllerSpec`: the current snapshot build's `/versions` does
not include `endOfSupport`.
- Checked that `grailsVersionInfo` fails for a malformed date
(`20207-07-31`).
Forge UI will need a matching change to read `endOfSupport`.
