So if I can't assume the working directory and I can't change the working
directory (Despite there be an option to do so with the exec task), is it
not possible to run tasks on the command line?
It also still confuses me how I can get this to run on the CLI with the
gradle wrapper, but not Android Studio.
Just an FYI, changing the task to the following:
task buildWebApp(type: Exec) {
workingDir
'/Users/matt/Programming/Workspace/webview-browser/BrowserPages/'
//on windows:
commandLine 'grunt.exe', 'build'
//on linux
commandLine 'grunt', 'build'
}
Will run with ./gradlew buildWebApp but fails in Android Studio.
Has anyone managed to execute shell scripts or other command line tools via
Gradle run in Android Studio?
