12/22/2022, 9:09 PMThanks, @Martin, I am taking Tom Gregory's Gradle course, so it may be a little outdated, or I have just not gotten to the end of the course yet.

Martin
12/22/2022, 9:15 PMI don't know this specific course but yeah things change fast. There are still occurrences in the Gradle doc too

Eric Kolotyluk
12/22/2022, 9:17 PMOh, yea... one of my central problems is how rapidly Gradle evolves and how much out-of-date documentation Google search finds... š

Martin
12/22/2022, 9:17 PMOfficial doc is good but yea lagging a bit sometimes in terms of best practices
Martin
12/22/2022, 9:18 PMhttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWQK2ZdV4Yl2k2OmC_gsjDpdIBTN0qqkE is my source of truth these days for best practices

12/22/2022, 9:18 PMI am playing with Gradle 8.0, and trying to learn from that documentation. Already I can see the improvements in that documentation.

12/22/2022, 9:52 PMThis doc is probably the first one people see when googling convention plugins in gradle, and it still uses buildSrc

12/22/2022, 9:55 PMYup, that is how I started using
buildSrcm
Martin
12/22/2022, 10:02 PM@Clayton Walker yea, that's a pain. I wanted to make a PR at some point but I don't think the docs are open source:-(

12/22/2022, 10:07 PMHow is the Gradle knowledge in chatGPT coming along? š
Actually, a lot of chatGPT is out of date too, but not as bad as Google search...
e
Eric Haag
12/22/2022, 10:10 PMWell I do know it can write some good poems about Gradle. š

12/22/2022, 10:14 PMYup, chatGPT is out-of-date...

Clayton Walker
12/22/2022, 10:15 PMSo considering the work done in https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/2531#issuecomment-1354506556, what would be the status of recommending includeBuild over buildSrc? Or would this not change the recommendation.

Zak Taccardi
12/23/2022, 4:21 PMSet up convention plugins, that's the key thing
e
Eric Kolotyluk
12/23/2022, 4:21 PMYep... going slow as I am apt to make typos...
Eric Kolotyluk
12/23/2022, 4:29 PMI see similarities in using
buildSrcEric Kolotyluk
12/23/2022, 4:30 PMExtreme 'separation of concerns' -- not that that's a bad thing...

Zak Taccardi
12/23/2022, 4:31 PMBuildSrc is literally the same thing minus a few behavior differences
e
Eric Kolotyluk
12/23/2022, 4:32 PMYup...
Eric Kolotyluk
12/23/2022, 4:42 PMIt makes me a little nervous to overload the _project_/gradle directory as thought that was only used for _project_/gradle/wrapper files...
But, this old dog can still learn a few new tricks...
z
Zak Taccardi
12/23/2022, 4:46 PMWhy would you ever do that
e
Eric Kolotyluk
12/23/2022, 4:47 PMLearn new tricks?
Or overload the _project_/gradle directory -- because that is what the idiomatic gradle GitHub project does...

Zak Taccardi
12/23/2022, 4:48 PMWho cares what directory is used for an included build
e
Eric Kolotyluk
12/23/2022, 4:48 PMI am just following the conventions I see before me... and will reflect on deeper philosophy later...
