Provide demo that uses Gradle to run the code generator

[digulla]

All the existing demos use Maven to build.

I've run into several issues when trying to get the jOOQ code generator to work with Gradle + Kotlin scripts. My main issues:

• The syntax in Gradle scripts is sometimes strange, so it would be great to have a working example to look at
• The official documentation (https://www.jooq.org/doc/3.20/manual/code-generation/codegen-gradle/) is missing the "run the code gen before the compiler" part. I solved this with this code but I'm not sure whether this is a good solution and how/when it will break:

tasks.named("compileJava") {
    dependsOn += tasks.named("jooqCodegen")
}

Note: I'm generating Java code even for my Kotlin project. I'm already struggling with this and I don't want to add Kotlin compiler/setup issues to the mix.

If a demo is take too much time, then please at least mention how to make the link between the code gen and compiler on https://www.jooq.org/doc/3.20/manual/code-generation/codegen-gradle/

Thanks for your report.

Adding gradle examples to the demo is already part of this task:

• Upgrade demo to 3.19 #10

• The syntax in Gradle scripts is sometimes strange, so it would be great to have a working example to look at

I'm assuming you're looking into the official gradle plugin from jOOQ 3.19, not any third party plugins. The manual is full of examples. Pick a random page, e.g.:

https://www.jooq.org/doc/3.20/manual/code-generation/codegen-advanced/codegen-config-database/codegen-database-forced-types/codegen-database-forced-types-converter/

Then click on the gradle tab:

There are a few missing sections (not just gradle), see e.g.:

• Add Maven / Gradle configuration example to a few more manual sections jOOQ#16377

What are you missing specifically?

• The official documentation (https://www.jooq.org/doc/3.20/manual/code-generation/codegen-gradle/) is missing the "run the code gen before the compiler" part. I solved this with this code but I'm not sure whether this is a good solution and how/when it will break:

Yes, see:

• Improve manual section about jOOQ-codegen-gradle jOOQ#16087

I'm closing this issue as a duplicate of the above.
