How to add a generated directory to sourceSets, but make intellij to unmark as source root? I tried this but doesn’t work, I have to manual unmark the directory

kotlin.sourceSets.main {
    kotlin.setSrcDirs(listOf(buildDir.resolve("generated/sources/delombok/java/main")))
}

idea {
    module {
        generatedSourceDirs.add(buildDir.resolve("generated/sources/delombok/java/main"))
        iml {
            whenMerged {
                excludeDirs.add(buildDir.resolve("generated/sources/delombok/java/main"))
            }
        }
    }
}

You can wrap srcDirs adding into condition like this:

if (System.getProperty("idea.sync.active") != "true") {
  kotlin.sourceSets.main {
     kotlin.setSrcDirs(listOf(buildDir.resolve("generated/sources/delombok/java/main")))
  }
}

You can also replace System.getProperty with gradle.providers.systemProperty (link) to be compatible with Gradle configuration cache
