Where should I put gradle.properties in Jenkins

Question

Where should I put the gradle.properties file in Jenkins?

I'm using version 1.21 of the Gradle plugin, but it isn't finding the properties file when I put it in the user home .gradle directory.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks

UPDATED

The Gradle plugin looks by default in the workspace of each project for a gradle.properties file. In order to use one file across all jobs, you need to set your gradle home in your job configurations as follows, by adding the following under 'switches':

-Dgradle.user.home=$HOME/.gradle

Are you sure that you are putting `gradle.properties` into the correct Gradle user home? I don't think the Jenkins plugin is involved in finding it. — Peter Niederwieser, Apr 27 '13 at 06:31

+1 from me! However, I'm using different nodes with different user-homes, so I configured it like -Dgradle.user.home=${GRADLE_USER_HOME} and defined the environment variable with value 'C:\Users\\.gradle' in the configuration of each node. Hope it'll help someone with similar situation as me. – P Kuijpers May 14 '18 at 14:48

In your Jenkins webpage, you can see 'user.home' property in 'System Information' page. (for slve, check slave's 'System Information' page) You'd put gradle.properties under 'user.home'/.gradle/ folder and every gradle job could see that properties. Adding switch is not work if your job runs on the other slave environment (ie. Windows system)

This save me for our Multi Configuration Project. That executes the same build for windows and linux – sandrozbinden May 07 '16 at 17:33

In addition to the answer of @devmojopum, make sure "Force GRADLE_USER_HOME to use workspace" is not checked in your job configuration.

Just put gradle.properties next to your build.gradle.
