[1.15.2] src/generated/resources is not being read by my code

[squidlex]

Hi there,

So I've been tinkering with Data Generators today and have managed to get my recipes to generate into src/generated/resources like I wanted, but the issue is the recipes don't work unless I move them into src/main/resources.

 

How do I make it so that my generated folder is recognised by forge?

 

Thanks for your help!

I think you can change that in your build.gradle (haven't tried it yet myself) to make it generate them right in the src/main/resources

Quote

            args '--mod', 'dimtest', '--all', '--output', file('src/generated/resources/')

I would guess changing that src/generated/resources to src/main/resources would do it. However, I don't know if it clears out anything before it writes them, so make sure you have a backup or something just in case lol

I got it to work!

I needed to add this:

sourceSets {
  main {
    resources {
      srcDirs += "src/generated/resources"
    }
  }
}

to my build.gradle.

 

Honestly don't know how I missed that.

I tried that earlier and deleted everything by accident, I now make constant backups haha.

Thanks for the suggestion though, it works if you use '--existing' but I wanted my things to be seperate

 

Ugdhar's method may be cleaner for some users so it's worth noting if you're reading this in the future!
