Gradle: reinitialize / reload settings.gradle

Question

I have developed a plugin and placed it into buildSrc. In addition, the build.gradle of the buildSrc is generating a settings.gradle for the parent folder (runs recursively to discover all the gradle projects) and it's done correctly.

But when the buildSrc/build.gradle is over (it compiled the plugin, and it run the gradle task to generate settings.gradle) and gradle jumps to the main build on the parent dir, I found out that the new settings.gradle that it generated is not the one that matters but the one read before the buildSrc.

Any way to refresh and reload it?

Answer 1

I'm not aware of a way to reload settings.gradle , and it's certainly not a supported feature. The way this is typically done is to script settings.gradle rather than generating it. If required, you also have access to buildSrc classes from settings.gradle.
