im trying out code generation, this is what i have rn:

val generateSources by tasks.creating {
	outputs.dir("build/generated/")
	doLast {
		File(
			outputs.files.single(),
			"generated.kt"
		).writeText("""fun foo() = println("hello from generated code")""")
	}
}
sourceSets["main"].java.srcDir(generateSources.outputs.files)

it works, but it requires me to put the code generation logic inside build.gradle . how do move it into a subproject ?

you can't use things defined in subprojects in gradle script's classpath, it'll have to be buildSrc or includedBuild

[ephemient]

https://github.com/ephemient/kotlin-numeric currently defines custom generation tasks in buildSrc, but they could totally be made into a proper gradle plugin in an included build like I did in https://kotlinlang.slack.com/files/UJQB4DJF7/F02JTBP361H/variants-example.zip
