Tried with both absolute and relative path. Can't find any references to local.properties in build.gradle, the only references I find is in .gitignore and 4 .gdoc-files.\r\n\r\nPointing to grails core on the command line works. E.g.\r\n\r\n    ./gradlew -Dgrails.home=/home/user/projects/grails-core docs\r\n\r\n"}}
