Including subprojects using a wildcard in a Gradle settings file

Question

In Gradle you need to define subprojects to be built in a 'settings.gradle' file. To build three child projects, you would do something like this:

include "child1", "child2", "child3"

The problem I'm having is that I have quite a few projects to include. Is there a way to use a wildcard in this definition? I'm looking for something like this:

include "*"

That of course does not work. This would be a lot easier to work with since I have many subprojects to include. Is there a way to automatically include subdirectories as projects?

Answer 1

Can you do something like:

include (1..10).collect { "Child$it" }

To include "Child1" up to "Child10"?

Obviously, you'd need to change the collect to some sort of folder scan, but it that quick test works then the scan has a good chance
