Creating a folder in unix machine through Gradle build

Old Forum

Hi,

I have a project after gradle build class files are automatically generated into build/classes folder.now i wont the class files which are generated after compilation should be moved to a different folder lat’s say “temp” not to classes.

i wrote code to create temp directory like

mkdir (‘build/temp’)

this’s working fine in windows machine but on unix machine if i run gradle i am getting error hence directory “temp” is not getting created.

Please help me to create a directory on unix machine.

Regards, Ananta

First time I hear about this problem. Usually, ‘mkdir’ works just fine on *nix machines. Can you provide the following information?

  • Output of ‘gradle -v’ * Full stack trace (’-S’) * Debug log output (’-d’)

Please use HTML code blocks and GitHub Gist for the stack trace.

problem is…

we have a master project …when i execute master gradle build it automatically executes another dependant project biill-info’s gradle …

and in bill-info project my requirement is to create a folder under build folder “${project.buildDir}/test” sirDir = file("${project.buildDir}/test")

sirDir.mkdirs() so by this, test folder is created under bill-info/build/test

this’s working fine in windows…but in unix no folder named test is created.

if i directly use mkdir (‘build/test’) ,then in unix machine test folder is created in master project.i dont need that.i need test folder should be created under bill-info/build/test

Peter can you please suggest what can be the problem?

task generateSar( type: JavaExec) {

description = ‘Create sar file for all operations’

sirDir = new File("${bill-info}/sar_files")

sirDir.mkdirs()

inputs.dir aifSrcDir

outputs.dir sarFile

}

this is a gradle build of project bill-info

if i run master project gradle build “sarfiles” directory is created in bill-info’s project

bill-info/build/sarfiles.(this’s working in windows)

But this’s not working on unix machine.

I have no idea what the problem is. Of course I’d need to see the requested information (‘gradle -v’, stack trace, debug log) for the Unix machine, not the Windows machine.
