This interface is implemented by all Gradle scripts to add in some Gradle-specific methods. As your compiled script class will implement this interface, you can use the methods and properties declared by this interface directly in your script.
Generally, a Script object will have a delegate object attached to it. For example, a build script will
have a Project instance attached to it, and an initialization script will have a Gradle instance attached to it. Any property reference or method call which is not found
on this Script object is forwarded to the delegate object.

Configures the delegate object for this script using plugins or scripts.
The given closure is used to configure an ObjectConfigurationAction which is then used to configure the delegate object.
closure - The closure to configure the ObjectConfigurationAction.
Configures the delegate object for this script using plugins or scripts.
The following options are available:
from: A script to apply to the delegate object. Accepts any path supported by uri(Object).plugin: The id or implementation class of the plugin to apply to the delegate object.to: The target delegate object or objects.For more detail, see ObjectConfigurationAction.
options - The options to use to configure the ObjectConfigurationAction.Configures the classpath for this script.
The given closure is executed against this script's ScriptHandler. The ScriptHandler is passed to the closure as the closure's delegate.
configureClosure - the closure to use to configure the script classpath.Copy the specified files. The given closure is used to configure a CopySpec, which is then used to copy the files. Example:
copy {
from configurations.runtime
into 'build/deploy/lib'
}
Note that CopySpecs can be nested:
copy {
into 'build/webroot'
exclude '**/.svn/**'
from('src/main/webapp') {
include '**/*.jsp'
filter(ReplaceTokens, tokens:[copyright:'2009', version:'2.3.1'])
}
from('src/main/js') {
include '**/*.js'
}
}
closure - Closure to configure the CopySpecCreates a CopySpec which can later be used to copy files or create an archive. The given closure is used to configure the CopySpec before it is returned by this method.
closure - Closure to configure the CopySpecDeletes files and directories.
paths - Any type of object accepted by Project.filesExecutes an external command. The closure configures a ExecSpec.
closure - The closure for configuring the execution.Executes an external command.
action - The action for configuring the execution.
Resolves a file path relative to the directory containing this script. This works as described for Project.file
path - The object to resolve as a File.
Resolves a file path relative to the directory containing this script and validates it using the given scheme. See PathValidation for the list of possible validations.
path - An object to resolve as a File.validation - The validation to perform on the file.
Creates a new ConfigurableFileTree using the given base directory. The given baseDir path is evaluated
as per file(Object).
The returned file tree is lazy, so that it scans for files only when the contents of the file tree are queried. The file tree is also live, so that it scans for files each time the contents of the file tree are queried.
baseDir - The base directory of the file tree. Evaluated as per file(Object).
Creates a new ConfigurableFileTree using the provided map of arguments. The map will be applied as
properties on the new file tree. Example:
fileTree(dir:'src', excludes:['**/ignore/**','**/.svn/**'])
The returned file tree is lazy, so that it scans for files only when the contents of the file tree are queried. The file tree is also live, so that it scans for files each time the contents of the file tree are queried.
args - map of property assignments to ConfigurableFileTree object
Creates a new ConfigurableFileTree using the given base directory. The given baseDir path is evaluated
as per file(Object). The closure will be used to configure the new file tree.
The file tree is passed to the closure as its delegate. Example:
fileTree('src') {
exclude '**/.svn/**'
}.copy { into 'dest'}
The returned file tree is lazy, so that it scans for files only when the contents of the file tree are queried. The file tree is also live, so that it scans for files each time the contents of the file tree are queried.
baseDir - The base directory of the file tree. Evaluated as per file(Object).configureClosure - Closure to configure the ConfigurableFileTree object.
Returns a ConfigurableFileCollection containing the given files. This works as described for Project.files. Relative paths are resolved relative to the directory containing this script.
paths - The paths to the files. May be empty.
Creates a new ConfigurableFileCollection using the given paths. The file collection is configured
using the given closure. This method works as described for Project.files.
Relative paths are resolved relative to the directory containing this script.
paths - The contents of the file collection. Evaluated as per files(Object...).configureClosure - The closure to use to configure the file collection.Returns the script handler for this script. You can use this handler to manage the classpath used to compile and execute this script.
Returns the logger for this script. You can use this in your script to write log messages.
Returns the LoggingManager which can be used to control the logging level and standard output/error capture for this script. By default, System.out is redirected to the Gradle logging system at the QUIET log level, and System.err is redirected at the ERROR log level.
Provides access to resource-specific utility methods, for example factory methods that create various resources.
Executes a Java main class. The closure configures a JavaExecSpec.
closure - The closure for configuring the execution.Executes a Java main class.
action - The action for configuring the execution.Creates a directory and returns a file pointing to it.
path - The path for the directory to be created. Evaluated as per file(Object).
Returns the relative path from the directory containing this script to the given path. The given path object is (logically) resolved as described for file(Object), from which a relative path is calculated.
path - The path to convert to a relative path. Creates a new FileTree which contains the contents of the given TAR file. The given tarPath path can be:
Unless custom implementation of resources is passed, the tar tree attempts to guess the compression based on the file extension.
You can combine this method with the copy(groovy.lang.Closure) method to untar a TAR file:
task untar(type: Copy) {
from tarTree('someCompressedTar.gzip')
//tar tree attempts to guess the compression based on the file extension
//however if you must specify the compression explicitly you can:
from tarTree(resources.gzip('someTar.ext'))
//in case you work with unconventionally compressed tars
//you can provide your own implementation of a ReadableResource:
//from tarTree(yourOwnResource as ReadableResource)
into 'dest'
}
tarPath - The TAR file or an instance of Resource.
Resolves a file path to a URI, relative to the directory containing this script. Evaluates the provided path object as described for file(Object), with the exception that any URI scheme is supported, not just 'file:' URIs.
path - The object to resolve as a URI.
Creates a new FileTree which contains the contents of the given ZIP file. The given zipPath path is
evaluated as per file(Object). You can combine this method with the copy(groovy.lang.Closure)
method to unzip a ZIP file.
The returned file tree is lazy, so that it scans for files only when the contents of the file tree are queried. The file tree is also live, so that it scans for files each time the contents of the file tree are queried.
zipPath - The ZIP file. Evaluated as per file(Object).
