This pull request does not have a backport label. Could you fix it @donoghuc? 🙏
To fixup this pull request, you need to add the backport labels for the needed
branches, such as:

backport-8./d is the label to automatically backport to the 8./d branch. /d is the digit.
If no backport is necessary, please add the backport-skip label

This (simplified) graphic may help in reviewing this. Essentially it tries to map out where in our automation different tasks are used and the subsequent interplay between gradle and rake.

donoghuc · 2025-12-22T21:02:56Z

Getting the entrypoints mainly consolidated to gradle makes cleaning the unused gradle tasks quite straightforward. Going through the rake tasks will be a bit more complex as there appears to be some tasks that may be relevant to non-ci workflows. I am planning on separating out the rake task cleanup into a separate PR.

Docs have been changing alot, I might be out of sync.
Does this mean we no longer use reference docs workflow? - https://github.com/elastic/logstash-docs/blob/89fac69db8de43a1fca62aa1c4c983455d5986fd/.github/workflows/reference_docs-pre90.yml#L60

@donoghuc can you please check if we need to leave this generatePluginsVersion task? It looks like docs pre-v9, v9 workflows are actively using - https://github.com/elastic/logstash-docs/blob/main/.github/workflows/reference_docs90.yml#L60
I might be missing something if you are handling this in other PRs.

Ah, good find. I totally missed that. I added it back. Luckily the rake task was not removed in #18537

I left one question about generatePluginsVersion. Otherwise the best way seems go head and fix if we face some strange behaviors.
