I'm trying to convert this (groovy) to Kotlin KTS

[Peter]

see kotlin example at gradle docs: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_testing.html#sec:configuring_java_integration_tests

[LeoColman]

I followed exactly the example, and it didn't work

[LeoColman]

But I get

Line 5: sourceSets {
          ^ Unresolved reference: sourceSets

[Peter]

works with gradle 5.1.1 at my machine

[LeoColman]

Did you put it in another file?

[LeoColman]

And then apply(from = "other.file.gradle.kts")?

[Peter]

no build.gradle.kts

[LeoColman]

How would you put it in another file?

[LeoColman]

I don't want my build.gradle.kts bloated with every single piece of code

[LeoColman]

In groovy it's valid syntax, in KTS it's not working x=

[Peter]

you should create an issue with the whole stacktrace I guess

[LeoColman]

Create an issue where?

[Peter]

https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl

[LeoColman]

I love Kotlin, and I really am eager to Kotlin DSL... But gradle released it as "Production Ready" and I couldn't literally do a single project in Kotlin DSL yet

[LeoColman]

Every time I try there's a different error. Even for trivial things, like SourceSet.... How is this production ready? x=

[Peter]

I know the pain. Anyway this issue here seems to be due to the same problem: https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/issues/1287

[LeoColman]

This is amazingly infuriating

[LeoColman]

I have to write 3x more code to do the same thing

[LeoColman]

I'll have to copy and paste code from the lib for this to work? This is a big no-no

[LeoColman]

This is very, very frustrating

[Peter]

well the gradle docs linked in the comment somehow detail how applied scripts have to be written without accessors

[Peter]

configure<SourceSetContainer> {
    named("main") {
        java.srcDir("src/core/java")
    }
}

😄

[LeoColman]

Thanks!

[LeoColman]

Altough this solves the issue, the verbosity is still pretty bad 😕

[LeoColman]

But thanks!

[LeoColman]

I ended giving up after another error showed up.

[LeoColman]

This is impossible 😕

[rook]

Verbosity is a side-effect of using a more concrete type system. It took me a day to convert my build files for a relatively simple android project.

[LeoColman]

Verbosity is bad, but manageable when it's intuitive. In this case, I don't think it's very intuitive at all

[LeoColman]

Maybe I'm just not used to it

[rook]

I didn’t find it burdensome at all when I switched over. I think it added a single extra line to my file. I’m curious where you find it to be a burden.

[LeoColman]

In this case, multiple sourceSets, configuring the idea plugin, all in another file (not the main build.gradle)

[napperley]

Managing source sets is a enormous pain 🙁, unless Gradle Kotlin DSL is used with the Kotlin Multiplatform plugin in which case dealing with source sets is easy 😄 ( https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTkRJeU16azBOMlptTXpBMSIsInQiOiIzWFFYNmZuaE04XC9EelQ2alArNDRrSFJNNG4zb29hUlpmbldsOUVDQVY4N2lzZlVyMGhwVEF6dlwvd2hieHp1ak9ENUpsTDBZM2dtaEpkNWxRbDR5SWRqeVwvNU93UWJJeDRoa21kTm9YQnk4Q0U5em1YZ09HRlZISnVSMVQ5ZHgwYiJ9#configuring-source-sets ) via Kotlin 1.3.20 onwards.

[LeoColman]

It still doesn't solve my issue, as I can't use it in another file

[rook]

I have this block in my build file:

sourceSets {
            getByName("main").java.srcDirs("src/main/kotlin")
            getByName("test").java.srcDirs("src/test/kotlin")
            getByName("mock").java.srcDirs("src/mock/kotlin")
            getByName("prod").java.srcDirs("src/prod/kotlin")
        }

[LeoColman]

Yeah, that's the issue for me. I don't want to do this in my build file

[LeoColman]

I want it in a separate file

[LeoColman]

It's possible with groovy

[LeoColman]

Impossible with Kotlin

[rook]

You can do it in a separate file. Just create a buildSrc directory. You can create custom logic in Kotlin files there to resolve whatever you need.
