Add groovy script to run through gradle android

Question

I want to run some groovy scripts before gradle builds debug apk in Android.

task batchTask(type: JavaExec) {
    description 'running tasks'
    exec {
        commandLine './Batch.groovy'
    }

}

added this to build.gradle(app)

apply plugin: 'groovyx.grooid.groovy-android'

android{
        ...

        dependsOn {
            batchTask
        }
}

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.4.0:grooid'
}

added this to build.grade(android)

dependencies { ... classpath 'org.codehaus.groovy:gradle-groovy-android-plugin:0.3.6' }

I keep getting the error Error:Cause: error=13, Permission denied

Update:

Running the task inside a Groovy shell did the trick.

task batchTask(type: JavaExec) {
    description 'batchTask in progress'

    new GroovyShell().run(file('Batch.groovy'))
}

You seem to be trying to run a command line Exec job with a JavaExec task? — tim_yates
Can you upload screenshot of build.grade(android) and build.gradle(app)? — tiny sunlight
