Referencing the user's home directory in a Gradle script

Question

Is there a cleaner way to reference a file in the user's home directory than doing the following in a gradle script? (referencing an Android keystore in this example)

homeDir = System.getenv('HOMEDRIVE') + System.getenv('HOMEPATH'); ... signingConfigs {     release {         storeFile file(homeDir + "\\.android\\releaseKeystore.jks")     } } ... 

Answer 1

more generic (read: "groovy" & not using "ant")

def homePath = System.properties['user.home'] 

Answer 2

Untested code, but how about something like this (might need parentheses around the "X as File" bit):

signingConfigs {   release {     storeFile "${System.properties['user.home']}${File.separator}.android${File.separator}releaseKeystore.jks" as File   } }
