You have a typo in your build script. It's "project", not "Project". And
instead of "project.buildDir", you can simply use "buildDir".
Another mistake is that you print out the build dir in the configuration
phase instead of the execution phase. You should do this:
task show << {
println buildDir
}
Or, if you prefer:
task show {
doLast {
println buildDir
}
}
