Gradle - Delete files with certain extension

Question

I am using Gradle and would like to delete all files with a certain extension. Is that something Gradle can do?

Answer 1

You may customize default clean task to include other directories and files for deletion like:

clean{
  delete 'buildDir', 'generated'
}

If you want use glob, you may use fileTree for example, or any other convenient methods to list files:

clean{
  delete 'build', 'target', fileTree(dockerBuildDir) { include '**/*.rpm' }
}
