Gradle: custom source set as dependency for the main and test ones


I've created custom source set in Gradle project to keep all generated code:

sourceSets {
  generated {
    java {
      srcDir 'src/generated/java'
    }
    resources {
      srcDir 'src/generated/resources'
    }
  }
}

I want to make the result of this source set's code compilation available at compile and run time for main and test source sets.

What's the right semantic way to do it in Gradle?

UPDATE:

As suggested here: How do I add a new sourceset to Gradle? doesn't work for me, I still get java.lang.ClassNotFoundException when I launch my app (though compilation and unit tests run fine). Here is what I tried:

sourceSets {
  main {
    compileClasspath += sourceSets.generated.output
    runtimeClasspath += sourceSets.generated.output
  }

  test {
    compileClasspath += sourceSets.generated.output
    runtimeClasspath += sourceSets.generated.output
  }
}

Solution

  • sourceSets {
        main {
            compileClasspath += generated.output
            runtimeClasspath += generated.output
        }
    }
    

    Same for the test source set.
