Not sure if this is the right channel to ask, but can you manipulate where 
knit
generates it's files 🤔 Currently I have some snippets 
md
inside a 
docusaurus
project, 
rootDir/content/blog/my-doc.md
and I have a Gradle project with KotlinX Knit setup in 
rootDir
. My goal is to have a 
rootDir/guide
submodule with Kotlin setup, and have KotlinX Knit generate the code in there. Currently the only way I found. to do this is to move the generated Knit files into the 
rootDir/guide
, but that seems like a ugly hack 😞
It currently makes a 
guide
sub directory in 
rootDir/content/blog/
. While it should be in 
rootDir/guide
It works if I use 
<!--- KNIT example-knit-01.kt -->
but I'd like to use 
> You can get the full code [here](guide/src/test/kotlin/example/example-basic-01.kt)
a
have you tried the 
test.dir
and 
knit.dir
properties? from memory, Knit will read the 
knit.properties
file in each dir https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-knit#tests
s
Yes, I have 
knit.dir
setup, and it works correctly when using 
<!--- KNIT example-knit-01.kt -->
but using a link it completely ignores that path. So I guess it's a bug in Knit 🤔
a
so this is what you want to have?
Copy code
└── /
    ├── content/
    │   └── blog/
    │       ├── my-doc.md
    │       └── knit.properties
    └── guide/
        └── src/test/kotlin/example/
            └── example-basic-01.kt
what happens if you set
Copy code
knit.dir=../../guide/src/test/kotlin/example
?
s
Yes, that is indeed the structure I have. Let me try.
Then it only works the other way around. I can now use
Copy code
> You can get the full code [here](../../guide/src/test/kotlin/examples/example-basic-01.kt)
but breaks 
<!--- KNIT example-basic-02.kt -->
😞
a
hmmm
there are also some knit Gradle settings https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-knit#dokka-setup
s
I moved the 
knit.properties
to 
content/blog
, and I can duplicate it between different folders 🤔 But now I cannot reference 
test.template
by doing 
../../
nor using 
symlinks
..
Getting somewhere though
I guess the templateloader cannot see symlinks
a
I’m also using Docusaurus + Knit in kxs-ts-gen https://adamko-dev.github.io/kotlinx-serialization-typescript-generator/docs/examples/basic-classes I got this working by having separate Gradle projects for Knit (
./docs/
) and Docusaurus (
./site/
). The Knit project generates the examples & tests internally (
./docs/src/test
, 
./docs/src/examples/
), and shares the files to the Docusaurus project via Gradle Configurations. And the Docusaurus project fixes the links with a regex.

Interesting, thanks for sharing!
a
no problem! Any questions, please ask
s
I think I got it to work without any 
Sync
or copy like tasks needed ☺️ Thanks for your help @Adam S! Wouldn't have been able to set it up in this way without it 🙏

a
nice! What did you put 
knit.properties
? Did you have to do any 
knit {}
Gradle config?
s
In the 
root/knit.properties
I am pointing to 
guide/src/test/kotlin/examples/
and in the nested 
content/blog/knit.properties
I am pointing to the same directory 
../../guide/src/test/kotlin/examples/
. My 
knit { }
configured is the default, I only applied 
siteRoot
.
