Script

The script handler for this script. You can use this handler to manage the classpath used to compile and execute this script.

The logger for this script. You can use this in your script to write log messages.

The LoggingManager which can be used to control the logging level and standard output/error capture for this script. By default, System.out is redirected to the Gradle logging system at the QUIET log level, and System.err is redirected at the ERROR log level.

Provides access to resource-specific utility methods, for example factory methods that create various resources.

Configures the delegate object for this script using plugins or scripts.

The given closure is used to configure an ObjectConfigurationAction which is then used to configure the delegate object.

Configures the delegate object for this script using plugins or scripts.

The following options are available:

For more detail, see ObjectConfigurationAction.

Copy the specified files. The given closure is used to configure a CopySpec, which is then used to copy the files. Example:

copy {
   from configurations.runtime
   into 'build/deploy/lib'
}

Note that CopySpecs can be nested:

copy {
   into 'build/webroot'
   exclude '**/.svn/**'
   from('src/main/webapp') {
      include '**/*.jsp'
      filter(ReplaceTokens, tokens:[copyright:'2009', version:'2.3.1'])
   }
   from('src/main/js') {
      include '**/*.js'
   }
}

Creates a CopySpec which can later be used to copy files or create an archive. The given closure is used to configure the CopySpec before it is returned by this method.

Deletes files and directories.

Executes an external command. The closure configures a ExecSpec.

Resolves a file path relative to the directory containing this script. This works as described for Project.file()

Resolves a file path relative to the directory containing this script and validates it using the given scheme. See PathValidation for the list of possible validations.

Creates a new ConfigurableFileTree using the given base directory. The given baseDir path is evaluated as per Script.file().

The returned file tree is lazy, so that it scans for files only when the contents of the file tree are queried. The file tree is also live, so that it scans for files each time the contents of the file tree are queried.

Creates a new ConfigurableFileTree using the given base directory. The given baseDir path is evaluated as per Script.file(). The closure will be used to configure the new file tree. The file tree is passed to the closure as its delegate. Example:

fileTree('src') {
   exclude '**/.svn/**'
}.copy { into 'dest'}

The returned file tree is lazy, so that it scans for files only when the contents of the file tree are queried. The file tree is also live, so that it scans for files each time the contents of the file tree are queried.

Creates a new ConfigurableFileTree using the provided map of arguments. The map will be applied as properties on the new file tree. Example:

fileTree(dir:'src', excludes:['**/ignore/**','**/.svn/**'])

The returned file tree is lazy, so that it scans for files only when the contents of the file tree are queried. The file tree is also live, so that it scans for files each time the contents of the file tree are queried.

Creates a new ConfigurableFileCollection using the given paths. The file collection is configured using the given closure. This method works as described for Project.files(). Relative paths are resolved relative to the directory containing this script.

Returns a ConfigurableFileCollection containing the given files. This works as described for Project.files(). Relative paths are resolved relative to the directory containing this script.

Executes a Java main class. The closure configures a JavaExecSpec.

Creates a directory and returns a file pointing to it.

Returns the relative path from the directory containing this script to the given path. The given path object is (logically) resolved as described for Script.file(), from which a relative path is calculated.

Creates a new FileTree which contains the contents of the given TAR file. The given tarPath path can be:

The returned file tree is lazy, so that it scans for files only when the contents of the file tree are queried. The file tree is also live, so that it scans for files each time the contents of the file tree are queried.

Unless custom implementation of resources is passed, the tar tree attempts to guess the compression based on the file extension.

You can combine this method with the Script.copy() method to untar a TAR file:

task untar(type: Copy) {
  from tarTree('someCompressedTar.gzip')

  //tar tree attempts to guess the compression based on the file extension
  //however if you must specify the compression explicitly you can:
  from tarTree(resources.gzip('someTar.ext'))

  //in case you work with unconventionally compressed tars
  //you can provide your own implementation of a ReadableResource:
  //from tarTree(yourOwnResource as ReadableResource)

  into 'dest'
}

Resolves a file path to a URI, relative to the directory containing this script. Evaluates the provided path object as described for Script.file(), with the exception that any URI scheme is supported, not just 'file:' URIs.

Creates a new FileTree which contains the contents of the given ZIP file. The given zipPath path is evaluated as per Script.file(). You can combine this method with the Script.copy() method to unzip a ZIP file.

The returned file tree is lazy, so that it scans for files only when the contents of the file tree are queried. The file tree is also live, so that it scans for files each time the contents of the file tree are queried.

Configures the classpath for this script.

The given closure is executed against this script's ScriptHandler. The ScriptHandler is passed to the closure as the closure's delegate.
