Gradle complains "No such file or directory"

I am using Android Studio & Gradle build script.

Under the root of my Android project, there is a folder named 'other', inside 'other' folder, there is a properties file my.properties.

-MyApp/
     
    -other/
         -my.properties  
    -build.gradle

In my build.gradle, I try to access my.properties :

task accessMyProperties {
    def folderName = 'other';

    //Gradle complains this line
    def file = new File("$folderName/my.properties");
    ...
}

But gradle complains that:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':MyApp'.
> other/my.properties (No such file or directory)

Why gradle arises the above error? How to get rid of it?

People also ask

Where is the gradlew file?

The Wrapper shell script and batch file reside in the root directory of a single or multi-project Gradle build. You will need to reference the correct path to those files in case you want to execute the build from a subproject directory e.g. ../../gradlew tasks .

How do you clean gradlew?

To clean cache in react native, open terminal, go to your project android folder, and run gradlew clean command it will clear react native cache.

Be careful about using pure relative paths in Gradle build scripts; those rely on the working directory at the time the build is invoked, which isn't something you should depend on. It's much better to ground your paths against $projectDir or $rootDir. Try something like this:

def file = new File("$projectDir/$folderName/my.properties");

See http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.Project.html for a list of variables you can use.
