Gradle global variable not in scope within buildscript
android-gradle-plugin, build.gradle, gradle
Solution
This is happening because the `buildscript {...}` configuration closure is always evaluated first, so the property is not yet defined. A workaround would be to define the property outside of the build script, either by placing it in a `gradle.properties` file or via the command line.
Problem
I have something like this in my top level `build.gradle` (Gradle 2.2) ``` ext.repo = "https://my-artifactory-repo" buildscript { repositories { maven { credentials { username foo password bar } url repo //doesn't work } } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.14.1' } } allprojects { repositories { maven { credentials { username foo password bar } url repo //works } } } ``` This is the error ``` Could not find property 'repo' on org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.repositories.DefaultMavenArtifactRepository_Decorated@718afa64. ``` So it works in `allprojects` but not `buildscript`.
