Auto-Accept Gradle ToS for build –scan & Run Without Scan

To accept the Gradle Terms of Service (ToS) for build --scan automatically and still manage to run the build without a scan, you can configure your Gradle build script and use command line options accordingly. Here are the steps:

1. Accept the Terms of Service Automatically:
   You need to accept the Gradle Terms of Service programmatically. This can be done by adding the following configuration to your gradle.properties file or by setting an environment variable.
   
   Option 1: Using gradle.properties file:

   systemProp.gradle.enterprise.build-scan.accept-tos=true

Option 2: Using environment variable:

   export GRADLE_OPTS="-Dgradle.enterprise.build-scan.accept-tos=true"

2. Running the Build Without a Scan:
   To ensure that the build runs without creating a build scan, simply avoid using the --scan option in your build command. You can run your build with the usual Gradle command:

   ./gradlew build

3. Optional: Enabling/Disabling Scan in Different Environments:
   If you want more control over when to enable or disable the scan, you can set up conditional logic in your build.gradle file. For example, you can enable scans only in certain environments or based on a project property.
   Example:

   if (project.hasProperty('enableScan') && project.enableScan == 'true') {
       buildScan {
           termsOfServiceUrl = 'https://gradle.com/terms-of-service'
           termsOfServiceAgree = 'yes'
       }
   }

To run the build with a scan enabled, you can use:

   ./gradlew build --scan -PenableScan=true

To run the build without a scan, simply omit the -PenableScan=true property:

   ./gradlew build

By following these steps, you ensure that the Terms of Service are accepted automatically, and you retain control over whether to include a build scan in your Gradle build process.
