Is there a cleaner way to reference a file in the user's home directory than doing the following in a gradle script? (referencing an Android keystore in this example)
homeDir = System.getenv('HOMEDRIVE') + System.getenv('HOMEPATH');
...
signingConfigs {
release {
storeFile file(homeDir + "\\.android\\releaseKeystore.jks")
}
}
...
Gradle knows the property gradleUserHomeDir which references the directory .gradle in user's home directory (e.g. on Unixes: ~/.gradle):
println project.gradle.gradleUserHomeDir
As it's a file object you can simply use .parent on it to get user's home directory:
signingConfigs {
release {
storeFile file(project.gradle.gradleUserHomeDir.parent + "/.android/releaseKeystore.jks")
}
}
In order to setup system-debug-keystore-path, you can use the following code lines.
This works on both MacOS and Windows.
signingConfigs {
release {
storeFile "${System.properties['user.home']}${File.separator}.android${File.separator}debug.keystore" as File
keyAlias 'androiddebugkey'
storePassword 'android'
keyPassword 'android'
}
}
buildTypes {
...
release {
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
...
}
}
