This article contains instructions on building projects using a development build and a local WPILib build.
Note: This only applies to Java/C++ teams.
Warning
There are no stability or compatibility guarantees for builds outside of tagged releases. Changes may not be fully documented. Use them at your own risk!
Development builds may be non-functional between the end of the season and the start of beta testing. Development builds are also likely to be incompatible with vendor libraries during this time.
Development builds are the per-commit build hosted every time a commit is pushed to the allwpilib repository. These builds are then hosted on artifactory.
To build a project using a development build, find the build.gradle file and open it. Then, add the following code below the plugin section and replace YEAR with the year of the development version. It is also necessary to use a 2024 GradleRIO version, ie 2024.0.0-alpha-1
wpi.maven.useLocal = false
wpi.maven.useDevelopment = true
wpi.versions.wpilibVersion = 'YEAR.+'
wpi.versions.wpimathVersion = 'YEAR.+'
The top of your build.gradle
file should now look similar to the code below. Ignore any differences in versions.
Java
plugins {
id "java"
id "edu.wpi.first.GradleRIO" version "2024.0.0-alpha-1"
}
wpi.maven.useLocal = false
wpi.maven.useDevelopment = true
wpi.versions.wpilibVersion = '2024.+'
wpi.versions.wpimathVersion = '2024.+'
C++
plugins {
id "cpp"
id "google-test-test-suite"
id "edu.wpi.first.GradleRIO" version "2024.0.0-alpha-1"
}
wpi.maven.useLocal = false
wpi.maven.useDevelopment = true
wpi.versions.wpilibVersion = '2024.+'
wpi.versions.wpimathVersion = '2024.+'

Building with a local build is very similar to building with a development build. Ensure you have built and published WPILib by following the instructions attached here. Next, find the build.gradle
file in your robot project and open it. Then, add the following code below the plugin section and replace YEAR
with the year of the local version.
Java
plugins {
id "java"
id "edu.wpi.first.GradleRIO" version "2024.0.0-alpha-1"
}
wpi.maven.useLocal = false
wpi.maven.useFrcMavenLocalDevelopment = true
wpi.versions.wpilibVersion = 'YEAR.424242.+'
wpi.versions.wpimathVersion = 'YEAR.424242.+'
C++
plugins {
id "cpp"
id "google-test-test-suite"
id "edu.wpi.first.GradleRIO" version "2024.0.0-alpha-1"
}
wpi.maven.useLocal = false
wpi.maven.useFrcMavenLocalDevelopment = true
wpi.versions.wpilibVersion = 'YEAR.424242.+'
wpi.versions.wpimathVersion = 'YEAR.424242.+'
