gradle.xml gradleHome - How is this populated?
Hello
My gradle.xml file looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project version="4">
<component name="GradleSettings">
<option name="linkedExternalProjectsSettings">
<GradleProjectSettings>
<option name="distributionType" value="DEFAULT_WRAPPED" />
<option name="externalProjectPath" value="$PROJECT_DIR$" />
<option name="gradleHome" value="/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/5.5.1/libexec" />
<option name="gradleJvm" value="#JAVA_HOME" />
<option name="modules">
<set>
<option value="$PROJECT_DIR$" />
</set>
</option>
</GradleProjectSettings>
</option>
</component>
</project>
In debugging something else, I noticed that this file contains a reference to what looks like a brew-installed version of Gradle 5.5. I checked, and I did in fact have a Gradle install at this location. I uninstalled it via brew since we use a much newer version of Gradle. The /usr/local/Cellar/gradle/ directory no longer exists. My project is configured to use Gradle from the 'gradle-wrapper.properties' file, which specifies a version of 6.8.3. My understanding -- and correct me if I'm wrong -- is that gradleHome is supposed to be derived from whatever is specified in gradle-wrapper.properties. Now, if I wipe out my .idea folder and reload the project, it still generates a gradle.xml file containing this reference to /usr/local/Cellar/gradle/5.5.1/libexec. My question is, how is this gradle.xml file being generated? Where is it getting this directory from?
Thanks,

This value will be used when you switch to Specified location in the IDE Gradle settings:
You can change this value by switching to this option, changing it and saving the configuration.
This is what I find interesting. I have it configured such that gradle-wrapper.properties is used:
We only have one gradle-wrapper.properties file in our project:
which contains
This continually happens even after invalidating indexes, clearing file system caches, deleting the .idea folder, etc.. gradle.xml is always re-created referencing that 5.5.1 version of gradle.
What I was trying to say is the this value you see in xml file is not actually used when you use gradle-wrapper.properties. But it will be used if you switch it to local Gradle distribution. So this is the expected configuration file content.
Ah ok. I see. So I can ignore the contents of gradle.xml and trust that IntelliJ is using the properties file if I've configured it to do so.
Thank you!
