How do you configure your generation task?

I write sources in the output classe dir of the main / test source set, using a DirectoryProperty would fix the implicit dependency ?

I think it would be better to have these sources generated in their own output directory and just add it to the output of the sourceset instead (you can use

builtBy

to manage the task dependency if necessary). e.g.

sourceSets {
    main {
        output.dir(generatedResources, "builtBy" to "generationTask")
    }
}

In general I believe it's not advisable to reuse the same output dir for multiple tasks.

Are you generating

java

files or

class

files? For

class

files something like ☝️ should work

An example (not pretty, but still illustrates this ; note that the modification of classpaths is specific to GWT, which needs the source files as resources too): https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt-places/blob/master/processor/gwtTest.gradle.kts

Thanks for all those answer, I'm generating java file, I will try that
