Once Amper supports extensibility, will there be a way to mark some sources as generated, and a programmatic way to know if a source set or file is generated?

Tools like Detekt will be better with it (it's not supported in Gradle, BTW)

100% definitely, we already have a foundation for that

@louiscad What do you mean by "and a programmatic way to know if a source set or file is generated?"?
From where do you want to know this?

[louiscad]

@joffrey From a linter program. I don't need it myself, but static code analysis tools like detekt and others would.

Thanks for sharing. So what I can say for sure is that the first prototype will have a way to register generated sources as outputs of custom tasks. Regarding depending on generated sources as inputs, there will probably be a way to do so (as in depending on all sources), but it will probably not be possible to know which of these source dirs are generated or handwritten.

You mean not in the next version, but eventually possible?

[joffrey]

Yes, I just mean for the first prototype iteration
