Gradle build: does someone tried alternative build script with alternative setting.gradle?

Question

I am using gradle 1.4, and renamed a build.gradle to buildExpr.gradle and settings.gradle to settingExpr.gradle, both files are in the project root, and I am using following command to run gradle build.

'gradle C:\myProject>gradle -i -b buildExpr.gradle -c settingsExpr.gradle project'

it seems command line option '-c' is not being honored and gradle is not picking settingsExpr.gradle file, hence it is not able to display all modules defined in settings.gradle file while executing project task.

I am getting following log -------------------------------------LOG---------------------------------------------------- C:\ASM\asm_workspace\asm71\AutoLab>gradle -i -c settingsExpr.gradle -b buildExpr.gradle project Starting Build Settings evaluated using empty settings script. Projects loaded. Root project using build file 'C:\ASM\asm_workspace\asm71\AutoLab\buildExpr.gradle'. Included projects: [root project 'AutoLab'] Evaluating root project 'AutoLab' using build file 'C:\ASM\asm_workspace\asm71\AutoLab\buildExpr.gradle'. All projects evaluated. Selected primary task 'projects' Tasks to be executed: [task ':projects'] :projects

---

Root project

---

Root project 'AutoLab' No sub-projects

---

it is very strange behavior by gradle command line shows. but if I change buildExpr.gradle to build.gradle and settingsExpr.gradle to settings.gradle, it executes normally and shows all sub-modules in log

Answer 1

-b and -c can't be used together. When using a settings file, everything else (e.g. the locations of build files) is determined from the settings file.
