how can I add dependencies (using Kotlin DSL) to a custom sourceSet? for example, here are my sourceSets:

sourceSets {
    main {
        java.srcDir("main")
    }
    test {
        java.srcDir("test")
    }
    create("jmh") {
        java.srcDir("jmh")
    }
}

and the problem is that inside the "jmh" sourceSet I can't import my main classes...

[Big Chungus]

kotlin.sourceSets.named("jmh") { dependencies {} }

[Big Chungus]

You can also make one sourceSet depend on the other via dependsOn()

[Karlo Lozovina]

what would be the exact syntax in the first case? what goes between {}?

[Karlo Lozovina]

oh, it seems to take implementation("foo.bar:mproject:0.0.0") , but then I have to repeat all the dependencies... maybe better to depend on the main sourceSet

[Karlo Lozovina]

how to refer to the main sourceSet inside dependsOn()?

[Big Chungus]

You can use raw string as dependant sourceSet name or pass reference to it. Either works

[Karlo Lozovina]

Huh, for example this doesn't work:

kotlin {
    sourceSets.named("jmh") {
        dependsOn("main")
    }
}

because dependsOn() doesn't take String as argument, it takes a KotlinSourceSet

[Karlo Lozovina]

and I don't know how to get a reference to a main sourceSet 😕

[Karlo Lozovina]

this also doesn't work: dependsOn(sourceSets.named("main"))

[Big Chungus]

You can use sourceSets.findByName then

[Karlo Lozovina]

At least it's not a type error anymore 🙂, but still this

kotlin {
    sourceSets.named("jmh") {
        dependsOn(sourceSets.findByName("main")!!)
    }
}

doesn't work, running the benchmarks fails with:

Project#afterEvaluate(Action) on root project 'myproject' cannot be executed in the current context.

I think I'm gonna scrap this for now, and just copy paste everything... this Gradle thing is more confusing than trying to prove theorems in Idris 😄

Thanks for the help!

I get that I have to somehow point one sourceSet to another, but why arent dependencies declared in the global dependencies {} block really global?
