Gradle move build folder to /tmp

Question

I wonder how is it possible to move build folder to somewhere, like /tmp.

In my case /tmp folder is tmpfs, home folder is encrypted. I see no reason why not to speedup build process and decrease load of hard disk.

Yes, it can be changed with setBuildDir method. This method takes a path argument.

buildDir = '/path/to/dir`

```project.buildDir = '/tmp/folder'``` works for me, thanks! Average build time was: 46s, now 34s! – ruX Aug 28 '15 at 12:59
