Question

Is there any way to access Gradle groovy plugin sourceSets dirs from my Groovy project built by Gradle? I am looking for default gradle src and resources directories.

I need it to avoid hardcoding a resources directory in my project but use the default Groovy plugin resource directory (resources/main).

Answer 1

You shouldn’t mix up your production code with your test sources and your test resources. I would suggest the following layout (the default of the groovy plugin) of your src directories in your project:

• groovy production code in “src/main/groovy”
• unit tests written in java or groovy in “src/test/groovy”
  *.groovy resources for testing your DSL in “src/test/resources”

Now you can reference the .groovy dsl test files from your tests via

URL url = this.getClass().getResource("/testDsl.groovy");
File testDslFile = new File(url.getFile());
