android studio 3.1: build:gradle:3.1.0 - Absolute path are not supported when setting an output file name

Question

When I use Android Studio 3.0 and I use the next version of Android Gradle Plugin in project/build.gradle:

cl         


        

Answer 1

I think using "./../../../" is bad solution... I use common gradle script for several projects and I want to make code to be independency from depth of output dir.

After some researching I found this solution for gradle plugin 3.1.2:

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    variant.outputs.all { output ->
        def relativeRootDir = output.packageApplication.outputDirectory.toPath()
                 .relativize(rootDir.toPath()).toFile()
        output.outputFileName = new File( "$relativeRootDir/release", newOutputName)
    }
}
