# The Build Dashboard Plugin

version 9.2.0-20250927015437+0000

| The Build Dashboard Plugin is not fully compatible with the Configuration Cache. When applied, the Configuration Cache is automatically disabled.

The Build Dashboard plugin can be used to generate a single HTML dashboard that provides a single point of access to all of the reports generated by a build.

## Usage

To use the Build Dashboard plugin, include the following in your build script:

Example 1. Using the Build Dashboard plugin
build.gradle.kts

    plugins {
        `build-dashboard`
    }

build.gradle

    plugins {
        id 'build-dashboard'
    }

Applying the plugin adds the `buildDashboard` task to your project. The task aggregates the reports for all tasks that implement the Reporting interface from all projects in the build. It is typically only applied to the root project.

The `buildDashboard` task does not depend on any other tasks. It will only aggregate the reporting tasks that are independently being executed as part of the build run. To generate the build dashboard, simply include this task in the list of tasks to execute. For example, “gradle buildDashboard build” will generate a dashboard for all of the reporting tasks that are dependents of the `build` task.

## Tasks

The Build Dashboard plugin adds the following task to the project:

`buildDashboard` — GenerateBuildDashboard

  Generates build dashboard report.

## Project layout

The Build Dashboard plugin does not require any particular project layout.

## Dependency management

The Build Dashboard plugin does not define any dependency configurations.

## Configuration

You can influence the location of build dashboard plugin generation via ReportingExtension.
