How to prevent storing files in user home?

abunetta · January 18, 2012, 4:40pm

I have a build running gradle 1.0 milestone 7. On CI server the build is run with -Dgradle.user.home=/tmp/home but I’ve now had a failure when it was unable to access a file in the original user home. The build failed with the below error.

How can I ensure that the build will not attempt to access the user home directory?

Thanks, David

To set the gradle home directory, use the ‘–gradle-user-home’ command line option:

gradle --gradle-user-home=/tmp/home

I just tried this and it works for all gradle caches. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug where the ~/.gradle/jna directory will always be created. Not sure if this bug will effect you.

According to the user guide, -Dgradle.user.home and the GRADLE_USER_HOME env variable should work just as well. Has something changed here?

abunetta · January 19, 2012, 9:59am

Thanks for checking, I’ll switch over to using the --gradle-user-home command line option.

The documentation does specify though that a gradle.user.home system property should also set the Gradle user home.

Seems like -Dgradle.user.home is now completely ignored. Looks like a regression to me.
