'How to find gradle subproject tasks from different working directory
I'm running into the problem that my gradle wrapper will only find subprojects if I execute it whilst being in the same working directory. For example:
Let's say the project structure is as follows:
.
├── app
│ ├── build.gradle
│ ├── ...
├── build.gradle
├── gradlew
├── settings.gradle
└── ...
It makes a difference whether I run gradlew from it's directory or from a different directory. If I run:
$ ./gradlew projects
> Task :projects
------------------------------------------------------------
Root project
------------------------------------------------------------
Root project 'com.name'
+--- Project ':app'
it has no problem finding :app. However, if I navigate and execute gradlew from a folder up, it cannot find it:
$ cd ..
$ ./android/gradlew projects
> Task :projects
------------------------------------------------------------
Root project
------------------------------------------------------------
Root project 'com'
No sub-projects
It can't find the projects. This is problematic for me since I need to run a task in :app from a pipeline from a different working directory, e.g. ./xx/yy/gradlew app:publishTask. However doing it this way, gradle can't find the task because it can't find the project. Is there a way to run these commands from any location?

Yes, it is. You have to:
- store your current location in an temporary variable
- change location to project directory
- run ./gradlew
- restore directory from variable
ex:
TMP_DIR=`pwd`
cd /path/to/project
./gradlew projects
cd $TMP_DIR
