Global gradle proxy settings?

Question

Is there any way to simply set up a global, system-wide proxy for gradle?

Yes, I know there is a systemProp.http.proxyHost, ...etc settings in the current gradle.properties file, but it works only in the actual project. But

I won't set it up in every gradle project
and I won't change the source code of a project because of my local network configuration.

So, is there any "global gradle.properties" file or so?

This is my first golden badge for a question visit count. I am so happy! :-) — peterh, Feb 20 '17 at 16:59

Yes it seems possible. See here, especially:

We can define a gradle.properties file and set the property in this file. We can place the file in our project directory or in the <USER_HOME>/.gradle directory. The properties defined in the property file in our home directory take precedence over the properties defined in the file in our project directory. As a bonus we can also define system properties in a gradle.properties file, we only have to prefix the property name with systemProp..

The gradle.properties files can be found at the following paths:

# windows gradle file
%userprofile%\.gradle\gradle.properties

# linux gradle file
~/.gradle/gradle.properties

On Windows you can find it directly here: %userprofile%\.gradle\gradle.properties On Linux you'll find it here ~\.gradle\gradle.properties – fty4 Mar 19 '19 at 07:59

@fty4, you can edit my answer to contain the paths from your comment. – Opal Mar 19 '19 at 08:29
Thumbs up, for accessing user home easily put `%homepath%` in `Run` window. – Davoud Dec 29 '20 at 08:47

Copy & paste:

systemProp.http.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
systemProp.http.proxyPort=8080
systemProp.https.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
systemProp.https.proxyPort=8080

to gradle global config = current user's gradle.properties

Linux/Mac/Unices: $HOME/.gradle/gradle.properties
- eg: /Users/limao/.gradle/gradle.properties
Windows: %userprofile%\.gradle\gradle.properties

More details refer official doc Accessing the web through a HTTP proxy

Thanks to @Opal's answer, @fty4

Also do not forget the no proxy setting for the exception list, just in case

systemProp.https.nonProxyHosts=artifactory.yourCompany.com|localhost|*.nonproxyrepos.com
