@szarnyasg I have fixed it by doing the thing in the screenshot

Now I can delete the java source set and it will not be generated by the IDE

great! 👍

@szarnyasg Another question if you don't mind.. Is it possible, given the gradle Kotlin project that I have, to change the

build.gradle

to use Kotlin script?

I don't mind, but unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that. I'd just go to GitHub for an example build.gradle.kts file and rewrite my build config 🙂

@szarnyasg Ok, I'll try that 😄

@nakamin if you want to configure the build script itself to not have a source directories (so you can still use the

auto-import

), you can do something like this (in

build.gradle

with intellij

2016.3

):

sourceSets {
  main {
    java {
      srcDirs = []
    }
  }
}

I have a small issue, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug. There is a plugin that uses values I need to set using ext.something = value. But when I use extra["something"] = value in kotlin it doesn't work. Is it known issue or I'm doing it wrong?

is it expexted that when I set val someValue = "something" and then read it within configure<SomeExtension> { }, I get null?

it seems to happen only with some extensions and not others

@barteks2x

val someValue = “something”

declares a variable local to the script, it doesn’t affect the extension

It works in most extensions. When I do: configure<SomeExtension> { //print someValue } it prints null

but only in some extensions

Or some values, not sure.

if

SomeExtension

has a similarly named property, then

print someValue

will be printing that property

this works in extensions: val sourceSets = the<JavaPluginConvention>().sourceSets

val versionOfSomething = "1.2.3" doesn't

but they are used in different extensions

it sounds like the local definition is conflicting with a property declared by the extension

that's... possible in this case

you can check that by using the

this

qualifier inside the

configure<…> { … }

block and see if you can reach the named property

that was the problem... it has the exact same somethingVersion property...

but now I still have the proplem of extras["something] = somethign not working

for the gradle license plugin

*forgot "

whe using groovy I would set it using ext.something = value

and it worked

ext.something = …

at the top level or inside some configuration block?

configure<LicenseExtension> { extra["project"] = "projectName" extra["year"] = "2016" //more configuration }
