Gradle - Include Properties File


How would I include a properties file in Gradle?

For example in Ant, I could do the following:

<property file="${basedir}/build.properties" />

Solution

  • You could do it using the java syntax, e.g.:

    Properties props = new Properties()
    InputStream ins = new FileInputStream("/path/file.properties")
    props.load(ins)
    ins.close()
    

    This should work in any groovy script. There might be a more "groovy" way of doing it though, using closures or some other fancy shortcut.

    EDIT: "in" is a reserved word in groovy. A variable can't be named that way, renaming it to "ins"
