Property to change "Generated test source directory"

[jmeierhofer]

Hello,

is it possible to change the Eclipse configuration where the "Generated test source directory" is?
Eclipse generates a folder with the name ".apt_generated_tests" in the project's directory.

I know there is a property in the net.ltgt.gradle.apt.EclipseJdtApt with name "genSrcDir" which I changed to another directory. Is there a chance to do this also for the ".apt_generated_tests"?

Regards

Oh wow, this is news to me! For years Eclipse only had a single output directory for both main and test, and I'm not an Eclipse user so…

Could you tell me the configuration key in .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.prefs for that other directory? (single output dir used to be org.eclipse.jdt.apt.genSrcDir)

Also, as you're at it, which other keys are there in this file? Currently, the plugin will generate:

org.eclipse.jdt.apt.aptEnabled=true
org.eclipse.jdt.apt.genSrcDir=.apt_generated
org.eclipse.jdt.apt.reconcileEnabled=true

(and org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.processAnnotations=true in .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs).
IIRC, aptEnabled is obsolete (replaced by processAnnotations), and reconcileEnabled corresponds to Enable processing in editor.

Had to rename the test src dir, to see the changes in the org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.prefs file
The content is:
eclipse.preferences.version=1 org.eclipse.jdt.apt.aptEnabled=true org.eclipse.jdt.apt.genSrcDir=bin\\.apt_generated org.eclipse.jdt.apt.genTestSrcDir=.apt_generated_tests2 org.eclipse.jdt.apt.reconcileEnabled=false

There is of course a new line after the version property, but somehow the format got corrupted. Sorry for that.

Eclipse version I use is 2018-12 with Buildship 3.0.1

Thanks, will add this (possibly not before this weekend though, and I have no idea when I'll cut the next release)

[jmeierhofer]

Thank you very much. Hope you will release soon ;-)

Pending v0.21, you should be able to configure it from the build using something like:

eclipse {
  jdt {
    apt {
      withProperties { properties ->
        properties["org.eclipse.jdt.apt.genTestSrcDir"] = project.file("bin/.apt_generated_tests")
      }
    }
  }
}
