Building a project with Groovy extension methods in it - gradle

I'm trying to build a simple Groovy project which contains a package with a Groovy extension method.
When I try to compile the project the classes using the extension method can't find it. The descriptor and the class are picked up correctly by the IDE.
I guess the problem is that the extension method is needed at compile time by which it probably hasn't been compiled yet.
I've tried creating different sourceSets but with no success.
dependencies {
compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.4.7'
compile 'org.membrane-soa:service-proxy-core:4.2.2'
testCompile 'org.spockframework:spock-core:1.0-groovy-2.4'
extensionCompile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.4.7'
}
sourceSets {
extension {
groovy {
include '**/ClosureExtension.groovy'
}
}
main {
groovy {
compileClasspath += extension.output
}
}
}
The extension method lives in src/main/groovy/com/predic8/membrane/dsl/extension and the rest of the project in src/main/groovy/com/predic8/membrane/dsl/.
P.S.: The project classes are all annotated with #CompileStatic.

One approach: separate the extension code into its own project, and produce a jar from that project. Then, in another project, the DSL code can use that jar and specify the extension jar as a dependency.
This would make a huge answer, so I mocked it up and placed it on GitHub here (with all due credit to mrhaki's post). There are two projects: extension and dsl. Assuming you understand multi-project builds in Gradle, the essence is this line from dsl/build.gradle:
compileGroovy.dependsOn tasks.getByPath(':extension:jar')

How to create multi project fat jar as bundle of some libraries with buildSrc

First of all, sorry for my poor english.
Goal
I want create multi project containing some custom libraries as subproject with gradle.
For centralized dependency version control, using buildSrc and setting versions (spring-boot, detekt, ktlint etc.)
my-core-project(root)
+buildSrc
+-src/main/kotlin
+--int-test-convention.gradle.kts
+--library-convention.gradle.kts
+library-A
+-src
+--main/kotlin
+--test/kotlin
+-build.gradle.kts
+library-B
+-src
+--main/kotlin
+--test/kotlin
+-build.gradle.kts
+build.gradle.kts
+setting.gradle.kts
buildSrc contains common tasks for libraries(integration test, detekt, etc.)
library-A and library-B are custom libraries based on spring boot.
There is no application module or any main method.
my goal is using method of library-A and/or library-B with another separated project with adding my-core-project to dependency.
Problem
./gradlew build created 3 jar files
my-core-project
+build/libs
+-my-core-project.jar
+library-A
+-build/libs
+--library-A.jar
+library-B
+-build/libs
+--library-B.jar
copied 3 jar files to libs directory under project which actually using these library,
tried adding dependency created jar
with implementation(files("libs/library-A.jar")), class and methods are resolved well.
but with implementation(files("libs/my-core-project.jar")),
class and methods are not unresolved.
when check my-core-project.jar, recognized that any information of sub projects contained.
Here is my setting.gradle.kts and build.gradle.kts of root directory.
# setting.gradle.kts
pluginManagement {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
gradlePluginPortal()
}
}
rootProject.name = "my-core-project"
include(
"library-A",
"library-B"
)
# build.gradle.kts
plugins {
id("java-library")
id("io.spring.dependency-management")
}
group = "com.demo"
version = "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"
dependencies {
api(project(":library-A"))
api(project(":library-B"))
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
Tried things
In my opinion, my-core-project.jar should be fatJar(uberJar),
so i added FatJar task like this
val fatJar = task("fatJar", type = Jar::class) {
archiveBaseName.set("${project.name}-fat")
from(configurations.runtimeClasspath.get().map { if (it.isDirectory) it else zipTree(it) })
with(tasks.jar.get() as CopySpec)
duplicatesStrategy = DuplicatesStrategy.EXCLUDE
}
tasks {
"build" {
dependsOn(fatJar)
}
}
but cannot resolve class and method,
additionally occurs version conflict with other dependency of projects using this package, due to library-A created as fatJar too.
Question
Is there a simple way packaging/bundling sub-modules into one jar file?
if there are tasks like this already in gradle, prefer to use that.
Modifying fatJar task like "add jar of submodules, not contained dependencies" can solve this problem?(even couldn't try completely newbie to gradle and kts.)
if so, can you show me how to modify task?
tried shadowJar already. that solved version-conflict problem with relocate option. but still couldn't resolve package in library-A
If structure has problem, is there a good practice/example for "bundle of library"?
thanks for reading.
TL;DR
If someone faced this problem, try set archive name shorter than current one.
For someone who faced same problem, sharing some informations.
as result, resolved this problem.(maybe even not problem)
current shadowJar configure is as following
tasks.named<ShadowJar>("shadowJar").configure {
archiveBaseName.set("shorten-name")
archiveClassifier.set("")
exclude("**/*.kotlin_metadata")
exclude("**/*.kotlin_builtins")
}
exclude kotlin_metadata, kotlin_builtins
set shorten name(original project name was 30 long characters)
I have no idea but shorten jar file name has no problem.
Interesting one is, upload in artifactory package with original(long) name worked well.
I don't know Gradle declaring dependency with files has length constraints.
implementation(files("path/to/package"))
And now it works well with original name with local jar package file.

Where to put gradle dependencies block in kotlin native project generated by Intellij IDEA?

I'm trying to make my first app in Kotlin Native. I want to add TornadoFX to my freshly created project.
I need to add a dependency according to TornadoFX guide
dependencies {
compile 'no.tornado:tornadofx:x.y.z'
}
The issue is - I cant figure out where exactly do I put it.
This is my build.gradle contents (generated by IntelliJ IDEA):
plugins {
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform' version '1.3.60'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
kotlin {
// For ARM, should be changed to iosArm32 or iosArm64
// For Linux, should be changed to e.g. linuxX64
// For MacOS, should be changed to e.g. macosX64
// For Windows, should be changed to e.g. mingwX64
mingwX64("mingw") {
binaries {
executable {
// Change to specify fully qualified name of your application's entry point:
entryPoint = 'sample.main'
// Specify command-line arguments, if necessary:
runTask?.args('')
}
}
}
sourceSets {
// Note: To enable common source sets please comment out 'kotlin.import.noCommonSourceSets' property
// in gradle.properties file and re-import your project in IDE.
mingwMain {
}
mingwTest {
}
}
}
// Use the following Gradle tasks to run your application:
// :runReleaseExecutableMingw - without debug symbols
// :runDebugExecutableMingw - with debug symbols
Places I tried:
1. top level
> Could not find method compile() for arguments [no.tornado:tornadofx:1.7.19] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.
2. inside kotlin {}
> Could not find method compile() for arguments [no.tornado:tornadofx:1.7.19] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.
3. inside mingwMain{}
> Could not find method compile() for arguments [no.tornado:tornadofx:1.7.19] on object of type org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.DefaultKotlinDependencyHandler.
Also, when put inside mingwMain, the compile line gets highlighted with a notice 'compile' cannot be applied to '(java.lang.String)'
For the Kotlin multiplatform plugin, the dependency block should go into each source set. However, there is no type called compile. Rather, you can use implementation or one of the other types which you can read about in the documentation.
Example:
sourceSets {
mingwMain {
dependencies {
implementation 'no.tornado:tornadofx:x.y.z'
}
}
}
BTW, why are you using the Groovy DSL and not the Kotlin DSL if you are writing a Kotlin project? :-)
As it was pointed out by this comment we cannot use TornadoFX in Kotlin Native, so I was doing everything wrong since the beginning, and this is not really a gradle issue.

Gradle: assemble output of a specific configuration

For a project, I have a custom configuration which should simply extend the default one, both in terms of java sources and in terms of dependencies.
This is what it looks like at the moment:
configurations {
// Tools inherits everything from default and adds on
toolsCompile.extendsFrom(compile)
}
sourceSets {
main {
java {
srcDirs = ['src']
}
}
tools {
java {
// Tools extends on the core sources
srcDirs = sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs + ['src-tools']
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile libs.a
compile libs.b
compile libs.c
// Tools adds on the dependencies of the default configuration
toolsCompile libs.d
toolsCompile libs.e
}
I know I could have also used sub-projects for this. I gave up on it, after trying, because I can't get it work properly together with the Eclipse integration plugin (it works fine when used from command line).
I have a couple of questions on the solution above:
Is the way I extend tools.java.srcDirs correct? Is there a more elegant way?
EDIT: Apparently it is not correct, as gradle eclipse generates a .classpath with a duplicate entry for src. Help please?
After I created my tools configuration, I know I can for example use it as a dependency from another project, as in compile project(path: ':myproject', configuration: 'tools'). What do I need to add if I instead want to get the output of the assemble task for my tools configuration? Do I have to make an explicit task for that? The task toolsClasses is created automatically, but not toolsAssemble or toolsBuild.

Android Studio with Java Library Module Unable to load test resources

I have an Android Studio Project with a Java library inner module that has tests with test resources. Yet when i run the tests I am not able to retrieve the artifacts. This seems to work fine in a pure java gradle project (in eclipse at least).
meaning For java plugin:
src/main/java
src/main/test
src/test/java
src/test/resources
Under the resources directory i have a crt file that i want to load in my junit test. When using any command i have come across it returns null for the resource. Yet I have confirmed the resources are in the build folder.
Some things I Tried:
getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("cert_format_der.crt").read(); // NPE
getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/cert_format_der.crt").read(); // NPE
getClass().getClassLoader().getSystemResourceAsStream("/cert_format_der.crt").read(); // NPE
Thanks
Turns out this seems to be a bug with Intellij and how Gradle not setting the resource directory for the test sourcesets correctly.
Adding This to the build.gradle for the module Fixes it:
sourceSets {
test {
output.resourcesDir = output.classesDir
}
}
Instead of diverging the resources to the class output directory − as suggested by nibbuen − it is also possible not to touch the output directory and explicitly add it as a dependency.
dependencies {
runtime files(sourceSets.test.output.resourcesDir)
}

How to compile single class dependency in gradle outside the main project

I have a gradle project that contains only Selenium/TestNG test classes. They are executed against a deployed war application. All works fine and now I'm adding a java utility that will query the test base and print list of tests that belong to a given TestNG group. The utility should be compiled and executed separate from the main project, as users may want to query the test base before test execution.
I added the following to build.gradle:
task listgroups(dependsOn:'buildUtil' ) <<{
ant.java(classname: 'util.TestGroupScanner', fork: true,
classpath: "src/test/java")
}
task buildUtil {
compile {
source = "src/test/java/util"
}
}
However, when calling listgroups task, I'm getting the following error:
C:\console-bg1>g listgroups
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
(...)
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'console-bg1'.
> Could not find method compile() for arguments [build_4emu7duna2isgubc1k8uts8k9
8$_run_closure6_closure11#d210ab] on root project 'console-bg1'.
I'm not sure how to resolve this issue and needless to say, haven't found an answer online so far. Any pointers appreciated.
The problem is in the buildUtil task, as the error suggests. The buildUtil declares a compile closure, but such closure does not exist for the default task.
Let me try to clarify what your setup is. The util.TestGroupScanner source is in the src/test/java/util directory, which you want to compile separately from other source (presumably src/main/java and src/test/java). The buildUtil task is supposed to compile sources in src/test/java/util, and the listgroups task executes the scanner utility on sources src/test/java folder.
In this case, I'd suggest you declare a new source set for your utility sources, like this:
sourceSets {
util {
java {
srcDir 'src/test/java/util'
}
}
}
This will automatically create a compile task called compileUtilJava for you, that will compile those sources. I also think you'll want to include utility classes in the classpath when executing your tool, which can be retrieved by sourceSets.util.output.classesDir. So now your listgroups task will look like:
task listgroups(dependsOn: 'compileUtilJava' ) <<{
ant.java(classname: 'util.TestGroupScanner', fork: true,
classpath: "src/test/java:" + sourceSets.util.output.classesDir)
}
One thing I have noticed about your setup, is that src/test/java/util source folder is nested under src/test/java. Gradle will assume src/test/java to be the default folder for your project test, and will therefore automatically include it, and all of its children when running tests. Since you want to keep your utility folder separate from the default setup, I would recommend you put it in src/testutil/java, to avoid any clashes. If you do, don't forget to update the sourceSets setup above with the correct source path.
To solve this with gradle, I suggest to create a specific sourceset for your util class and add a task of type JavaExec that executes this class for printing your testng groups. Have a look at the following snippet:
apply plugin:'java'
...
...
configurations{
testUtilCompile.extendsFrom testCompile
}
...
...
sourceSets{
testUtil{
java {
srcDir "src/test/java"
include "util/**"
}
}
}
task printGroups(type:JavaExec){
main = "util.TestGroupScanner"
classpath = sourceSets.testUtil.runtimeClasspath
}

René
