can i add custom java source dirs for a jvm { withJava() } target?

Have you tried adding src dirs through the source sets?

I was able to successfully add source directories to the common source set like this, but I had to go through some trial and error, and many of the syntaxes that look like they will work didn’t, especially for kotlin-script-gradle.

That's precisely what I'm doing now except in jvmTest. I've verified the file created has a correct final path but its sources are not being included in Java compilation.

[spierce7]

Are you using the exact method / syntax I use in that example? The reason I ask is because again, there are other source adding syntaxes / functions that compile and look like they will work in kotlin-script-gradle, but don’t actually work.

@Liliia thanks!
@spierce7 i think so, but groovy: https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/1269842/2/collection/collection2/build.gradle#92

@jw yeah, that's the syntax I was using in kotlin that didn't work. Stop using the += syntax and use my function call.

[spierce7]

It should work for you when you move to my exact function call
