Gradle Goodness: Changing Name of Default Build File

Gradle uses the name build.gradle as the default name for a build file. If we write our build code in a file build.gradle then we don‘t have to specify the build filename when we run tasks. We can create build files with a different name other than build.gradle. For example we can define our build logic in a file sample.gradle. To run the tasks from this build file we can use the command line option -b or --build-file followed by the file name. But we can also change the project settings and set a new default build file name for our project. With the changed project settings we do not have to use the command line options -b or --build-file.

Suppose we have the following build file with the name sample.gradle:

To run the sample task from the command line we can use the command line options -b or --build-file:

To change the default build file name for our project we create a file settings.gradle in our project. Inside the settings.gradle file we can change the property buildFileName for rootProject:

Now we execute the tasks from sample.gradle without the options -b or --build-file:
