[GRADLE-2798] SourceDirectorySet.srcDirs(Object...) does not flatten args Created: 20/Jun/13  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

Status: Resolved
Project: Gradle
Affects Version/s: 1.6
Fix Version/s: None

Type: Bug

 Description   

I would expect the following to work:

sourceSets {
  main {
    resources {
      srcDirs java.srcDirs
      exclude '**/*.xml'
    }   
  }
}

Basically, I'd expect the srcDirs(Object...) method to behave like Project.files() with regard to unpacking collections.

It should be:

apply plugin: 'groovy'
sourceSets {
main {
resources {
srcDirs java.srcDirs
exclude '*/.xml'
}
}
}

Using the source method means that the other source directory set should be included wholesale (i.e. includes/excludes don't apply).

No, I had tried that before, there is even a post by me asking somewhere in this forum. What I get is:

$ g clean processResources
Converting class java.util.LinkedHashSet to File using toString() method has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0. Please use java.io.File, java.lang.String, java.net.URL, or java.net.URI instead.
:clean
:processResources

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 6.801 secs
$ find -type f build/resources/
build/resources/main/resource.txt
build/resources/main/resource.java

Which means that src/java is not included in resources. If you want it this way, you actually need to do it like this:

srcDirs java.srcDirs as File[]

or

srcDirs = srcDirs + java.srcDirs

I don't like the looks of the former, and I've just came up with the latter ;d That's why I went on to search deeper and found 'source'.
I guess I will have to live with one of the two. I do understand the reasoning behind 'source' being wholesale, it was just surprising at first, and it should probably be documented that such 'sourcing' is not affected by further configuration.
