How to do a nightly build using Gradle?

Question

I can build my android project in command line with ./gradlew assembleDebug but how do I automate this so Gradle builds itself once every day? Is there any way to do this without downloading something additional like Jenkins?

Answer 1

Use can use crontab to automate without downloading any package type crontab -e

*     *     *     *     *  Command to be executed

1. Min (0 - 59)
2. Hour (0 - 23)
3. Day of month (1 - 31)
4. Month (1 - 12)
5. Day of week (0-7)

lets say if you want to automate everyday around 22:00

0 21 * * * ./gradlew assembleDebug
