Multiple resources location

[Yanny7]

Hi,

 

by default, resources are load from path src/main/resources but I would like to have another location containing resource files, e.g. generated/resources. I need to separate this because in generated folder I have a lot of files and while development I often change them, rename and so on, so I can easely loose track of files which are not used anymore, but are still there. With this approach I can delete whole generated folder and re-generate it from script again

 

Is it possible to have them separated and on build/run merge this two folders?

I accomplished this through the use of a "generated" Gradle sourceset, then including that sourceSet in my run configurations (in runs -> mods -> <my mod name> under sourceSets.main)

To have this sourceset included in your built jar requires extra configuration to the jar task, adding from sourceSets.generated.output to it.

 

(This is all Gradle configuration, if you have further questions please try reading the Gradle Documentation)

Added the bit about the built jar

I tried it, but without success. I marked my folder as "Generated Sources Root", but when I add into build.gradle "from sourceSets.generated.output" it fails saying something that: 

Could not get unknown property 'generated' for SourceSet container of type org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultSourceSetContainer.

 

I spend few hours googling about gradle and sourceSets, but there is nothing helpfull. 

 

Can you please provide some example how to add it into gradle file?

 

Edit

 

I found simple solution to this, just extend sourceSet.main.resources.srcDirs:

 

...

        client {
            workingDirectory project.file('run')

            // Recommended logging data for a userdev environment
            property 'forge.logging.markers', 'SCAN,REGISTRIES,REGISTRYDUMP'

            // Recommended logging level for the console
            property 'forge.logging.console.level', 'debug'

            // Add generated resource files
            sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs += ['src/generated/resources']

            mods {
                toomanyores {
                    source sourceSets.main
                }
            }
        }

...

The generated source set is one you have to create (easier than it sounds, all the defaults are correct for your usage), just look up how to create a Gradle source set
