Build.gradle issue

[anr2me]

While i was testing out the free Android Studio Cloud (which is faster than my laptop LOL) to open/build ppsspp project, i got 2 errors Can't resolve symbol 'File' at build.gradle

Replacing these new File() lines with file() seems to works, but not sure whether this will be compatible with older gradle version or not.
Edit: this might works on old version too, since this was found on an old post in 2018 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38275583/create-version-txt-file-in-project-dir-via-build-gradle-task#comment83908599_38275875

		//new File("versionname.txt").write(androidGitVersion.name())
		//new File("versioncode.txt").write(androidGitVersion.code().toString())
		file("versionname.txt").text = androidGitVersion.name()
		file("versioncode.txt").text = androidGitVersion.code().toString()

PS: There is also an error at androidGitVersion.name()/androidGitVersion.code() due to the tags are not being fetched at all, and i ended creating a dummy tag, but that is not ppsspp issue.

Thanks, I'll fix these, although it's curious that these don't manifest locally. As for the tags not working in the cloud thingy, any way you can see to fix that ?

not sure why i couldn't fetch/pulled the tags, even with unshallow or a large depth, may be because the terminal is sandboxed i think) or may be i need to sign-in with my github account from the terminal (it couldn't recognize me/the author when i tried to create a dummy tag with annotation)

The gradle file has been substantially rewritten, I've replaced the plugin that computes the git version with custom code, etc. I think it's safe to close this issue.
