Overview

The project-level configuration script that contains task configuration for the current project, written in the Gradle's DSL. The build script can contain any Groovy language element. May contain the following:

• println
• Variable declarations.

Variables

Local Variables

Local variables, which are a feature of the underlying Groovy language, are declared with the "def" keyword. They are only visible in the scope where they have been declared.

def myVariable = "something"
...
println myVariable
