Intellij seems to know that Gradle API sources (e.g. for

org.gradle.api.tasks.testing.Test

) are in

\.gradle\caches\8.13\transforms\be3b1a1bb33d55c586a2a5188fe96027\transformed\testing-jvm\org\gradle\api\tasks\testing\Test.java

(i.e. not in a sources-jar downloadable from a repository). How does it work this out? Is there a way to query the Gradle API for these source locations? Any

ArtifactResolutionQuery

I do doesn't seem to bring this back. I'd like to be able to work out the Gradle sources for my

buildSrc

projects which implicitly depend on

gradleApi()

and

localGroovy()

You can get the source JARs with an artifact view:

// buildSrc/build.gradle.kts


val logSrcs by tasks.registering {
  val srcs = configurations.compileClasspath
    .get()
    .incoming
    .artifactView {
      attributes {
        attribute(DocsType.DOCS_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE, objects.named(DocsType.SOURCES))
      }
    }
    .files

  doLast {
    println(srcs.joinToString("\n"))
  }
}

I just get the usual jars printed out, not the sources...

This is with a basic Gradle project using the

java-gradle-plugin

plugin

sorry you're right, I was confused because I saw some source jars, but they were from plugins

Iirc when the IDE uses the tooling API to query information about the project, Gradle tells it this.
