Call Gradle Wrapper from nested Directory

The following script will allow you to use gw instead of ./gradlew in any subdirectory. gw will go up the directory hierarchy until it finds gradlew or a gradle settings file.

Save this script as gw, make it executable and add it to the search path:

#!/bin/bash
relative_path='.'
while [[ $(realpath $relative_path) != '/' ]]; do
  if [[ -f "${relative_path}/gradlew" ]]; then
    #echo "Found gradlew at ${relative_path}"
    # Found gradlew, execute it.
    ${relative_path}/gradlew "$@"
    break
  fi
  # Check for Gradle settings files.
  if [[ -f "${relative_path}/settings.gradle" || -f "${relative_path}/settings.kts" || -f "${relative_path}/settings.gradle.kts" ]]; then
    # Found a Gradle settings file, stop searching.
    break
  fi
  # Move up one directory.
  relative_path="${relative_path}/.."
done
