Hi all, When working with Gradle Tooling API, and building a custom

ToolingModelBuilder

. Inside my

buildAll

method all instances I try to retrieve from

extensions

are

_Decorated

, and I cannot seem to find any by

findByType

nor can I unwrap or cast them to their actual types. Any ideas? I am using https://github.com/melix/gradle-tapi-demo-artifacts as an example.

That all classes are

_Decorated

is normal. Everything you let Gradle create for you is decorated, for example to implement all the boilerplate you can leave out like injected services and so on, or making all classes

ExtensionAware

whether they explicitly declare it or not. But those classes are subclasses of the actual classes, so you would still be able to find by type of cast, unless you for example try to cast to a class instance coming from a different class loader as usual.

unless you for example try to case to a class instance coming from a different class loader as usual.

Aha, yes I think this is the case.

The init script classpath is not a parent of the other classpaths. So within the init script, you probably can not. You probably need instead to only use the init script to inject some code or plugin that is run in the scope of the build script classpath to do what you want or something like that. Didn't play too much with model building through tooling api yet.

I saw you in some similar related issues. This is currently my init script, and the problems lies within

kotlin-gradle-plugin

, where I replace

%%PLUGIN_JAR%%

with the actual path. Without the

kotlin-gradle-plugin

classpath the

JAR

will not work. What I understand from the Gradle Tooling APi is that it loads the projects, and then builds the models by running a task. So I guess I just have to add my plugin, with the classpath dependency to the rootProject. Seeing your issues, it seems there are some quirks surrounding that.

As I said, adding to the init script classpath does not add it to the project script classloaders. That's also why you cannot apply by ID from the init script but have to apply by class.
