Another question: I am creating a plugin that generates a directory with some resource files in

/build/generated/resources

. I need to add this directory to the resource source set. As I understand I can do it like this:

project.sourceSets.main.get().resources.srcDirs.add(outputDir.get().asFile)

But I don't know at what point at time should it happen. In the

@TaskAction

method?

no, that needs to be done at configuration time. the project model is not mutable at execution time

Thanks, I got it to work with:

project.afterEvaluate {
            sourceSets.named("main") {
                resources.srcDir(task.get().outputDir.get().asFile)
            }

inside the plugin.

no that is wrong

oh, I fixed it, thanks @ephemient!
