# ProjectBuilder

open class ProjectBuilder(source)

Creates dummy instances of org.gradle.api.Project which you can use in testing custom task and plugin implementations.

To create a project instance:

1. Create a `ProjectBuilder` instance by calling builder.
2. Optionally, configure the builder.
3. Call build to create the `Project` instance.

You can reuse a builder to create multiple `Project` instances.

The `ProjectBuilder` implementation bundled with Gradle 3.0 and 3.1 suffers from a binary compatibility issue exposed by applying plugins compiled with Gradle 2.7 and earlier. Applying those pre-compiled plugins in a ProjectBuilder context will result in a ClassNotFoundException.
