gradleBuild pass properties back to caller during evaluation

build.gradle

task foo(type: GradleBuild) {
    dir = '/foo'
    tasks = ['foo']
}

println foo.version

/foo/build.gradle

project.ext {
    version = "1.0"
}

How to pass a property(e.g. version) defined in "/foo/build.gradle" back during evaluation?

This won't be possible. The functionality of the GradleBuild task is limited, you can't even read the output of the Gradle invocation via the public API.

But, if your builds are connected, you should include the foo project as subproject of your parent project. Simply include the project in your settings.gradle file (you can create one if it does not exist):

include ':foo'

Now, if you invoke gradle, the entered tasks will be executed in your root project as well as in your foo project (if existent). You can let tasks of your root project depend on tasks of your foo project by using:

myRootTask.dependsOn ':foo:myFooTask'
