I have defined my Dagger2 component file in a class named LpComponent.java so I need to instantiate things using DaggerLpComponent class reference.
However when I update LpComponent.java file DaggerLpComponent is not getting recreated , only way I can get this is to clean the whole project, and rebuild it.
Is there good old make style dependency I can specify DaggerLpComponent.java depends on LpComponent.java?
Also its not clear to be what rule generates DaggerLpComponent.java file. I have tried ./gradlew tasks to see if there is some dagger specific task that generates the file, but didn't see anything..
Dagger 2 works via annotation processing, which happens at compile time. A simple compilation of your project should trigger the Dagger 2 annotation processor to run and generate new sources. With Android, that should be minimally one of the tasks starting with "compile" that has your build type and flavor in the name.

Following https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_testing.html#sec:configuring_java_integration_tests and https://www.michael-bull.com/blog/2016/06/04/separating-integration-and-unit-tests-with-gradle we are attempting to separate our integration tests from plain unit tests.
The problem we have is internal members in Kotlin are not accessible from such tests. As per Kotlin doco there is a visibility exception for test source sets.
The internal visibility modifier means that the member is visible
within the same module. More specifically, a module is a set of Kotlin
files compiled together:
an IntelliJ IDEA module;
a Maven project;
a Gradle source set (with the exception that the test source set can access the internal declarations of main);
a set of files compiled with one invocation of the Ant task.
Is there a way around it other than not trying to access them? That would call for a major refactoring of hundreds of tests and potentialy the whole codebase.
I was able to get a custom test sourceSet to access internal classes by adding the following code to my custom Gradle plugin.
NamedDomainObjectContainer<KotlinWithJavaCompilation<KotlinJvmOptions>> compilations = project
.getExtensions()
.getByType(KotlinJvmProjectExtension.class)
.target.getCompilations();
compilations.getByName(sourceSet.getName())
.associateWith(compilations.getByName(SourceSet.MAIN_SOURCE_SET_NAME));
I looked at the kotlin-gradle-plugin source code and found the following:
https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/v1.3.61/libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlin/gradle/plugin/KotlinPlugin.kt#L488-L490
With change, the tests in my custom source set run just fine, but IntellIJ still shows compilation errors. I'll look further to see if I can make IntelliJ happy as well
I have a module with annotation processor which generates quite lot of classes I use throughout the project.
I used that module in one of my projects, though it was hell to make it work properly, it works as expected - I run build, it generates classes and everything's fine.
In new project, I use the same module (just copied code), the same config etc. but if I run build, in stubs it replaces all my "to be generated classes" references as Class<Any>, and build fails.
Workaround is that I use kaptKotlin task separately:
it generates code, and than I have to build again (kapt again is run there but no errors thrown) and only than it works.
But even in kaptKotlin task I get lot's of e: cannot find symbol in generated stubs (though code is generated).
I think that while running that tasks those should be ignored or something.
How can I correct that behavior?
Or how can I make it work through single "build" task, so kapt would in stubs reference "to be generated code" correctly and not replacing with Class<Any>?
P.S. using latest versions of Kotlin. Tried correctErrorTypes = true - no success.
Is there any way to make CMake "forget" about a file in the dependency tree? My original problem (to avoid the XY situation) is the following: I want to timestamp the build of a set of tools which have complicated dependencies among them and to other tools. Right now, I want to use a pure timestamp, but later I might want add some info from the repository (SVN). Whatever system I end up implementing needs to have the following characteristics (my "X"):
No unnecessary rebuilding: the executables should not be rebuilt on every make if the only change would be the timestamp.
Update on any change: if any tool is going to be rebuilt or relinked, either by changes to its code or to one of its dependencies, the timestamp needs to be updated.
My current solution goes along the lines of creating a custom command+target that invokes CMake at make time (so the command calls CMake itself with -P script.cmake) to generate a timestamp.h file. The main files of my tools would include that file, and the projects would depend on the target so that it gets rebuilt first.
However, this has its drawbacks: if I do update the timestamp file on every call to make, then CMake's dependency scanner would know about that file even if I do not list it as an explicit dependency of my tools. Thus, every make would trigger at least a recompilation of the respective "main" files and the corresponding relink. With tens of tools, this means slowing down the build when I may be working on just two or three of them at once.
So, I was thinking that my solution would be to somehow make CMake forget about that file when building its dependency tree for the "main" file of each tool. I would keep the dependency on the custom target that does depend on the file, so that it would be regenerated first on each call to make. However, the build tool would not consider that file as relevant to determine whether it is necessary to actually rebuild each individual tool. Thus, tools only with other changes would be rebuilt (satisfying my first criterion), and any change that causes a rebuild of a tool would obviously use the version just generated (fulfilling the second criterion).
To my chagrin, I have not found a way to make the dependency scanner forget about this file, so my solution cannot be put to use. How would I go about doing such a thing? Is it even possible, or is it completely the wrong way to go about this? I am using CMake 3.4, and my code is currently C++, but I would like a solution that did not rely on C/C++ specifics, since I have a different project (written in Fortran) in which I would also like to have build timestamping.
I've had almost the same problem than you are. Simply solved by pushing the timestamp header file into standalone target containing only this header generator command. After that you have several choices:
1.. Exclude that project from the build by the IDE you are using. For example, for the Visual Studio you can do it by several ways:
1.1. Project->Project Dependencies...->uncheck project with that header (not always works: Error while removing project dependency in VS2010)
1.2. Build->Configuration Manager...->uncheck project with that header
2.. Create an environment variable and use the condition with that variable around the add_dependencies command in the CMakeLists.txt file.
3.. Generate 2 standalone solutions through the cmake generator with included and with excluded add_dependencies in the CMakeLists.txt file.
I've used particulary [1.2]. When i need build and debug, then i uncheck the dependecy. By default, dependecy always checked, so there is no problem to miss timestamp build for a build server.
Note:
The timestamp header will be included in all projects you want to include that header (for example, through the add_library and add_executable) and you still can observe it in the IDE under a project item menu even if a project depends on the timestamp project indirectly. This is useful if you don't want to search for the timestamp project with the header to open it from there and want to open it from any project which has included that header.
So, in case of removing the timestamp header from the add_library or add_executable you won't have that opportunity.
I am building a project on Github written in Objective-C. It resolves MAC addresses down to manufacturer details. The lookup table is currently stored as text file manuf.txt (from the Wireshark project), which is parsed at run-time, which is costly. I would prefer to compile this down to archived objects at build-time, and load that instead.
I would like to amend the build phases such that I:
Build a simple compiler
Run the compiler, parsing manuf.txt and outputting archived objects
Build the framework
Copy the archived objects into the framwork
I am looking for wisdom on how to achieve steps 1 and 2 using Xcode v7.3 as Xcode provides only a Copy Files phase or a Run Script phase. An example of other projects achieving similar goals would be inspiring.
I suspect that what you are asking is possible, but tricky. The reason is that you will need to write a bunch of class files and then dynamically add them to the project.
Firstly you will need to employ a run script phase to run various tools from the command line to parse your file and generate a number of class files from it. I would suggest looking into various templating engines. For example appledoc uses moustache templates to generate API documentation files. You could use the same technique to generate header and implementation files.
Next, rather than generating archived objects an trying to import into a framework. I think you may be better off generating raw source code, adding it to a project and compiling into a framework. Probably simpler in the long run.
To automatically include the generated code I would look into (which means I haven't actually tried this :-) adding a folder reference to the project rather than an Xcode group. Folder references are an option in the 'Add files to ...' dialog.
Folder references refer to a directory and automatically add the entire contents of that directory to a project. So you can use one to point to the directory where you have generated the source code. This is a much better option than trying to manipulate the project or injecting things into an established framework.
I would prefer to parse the file at runtime. After launch you can look for an already existing output, otherwise parse it one time.
However, I have to do something similar at Objective-Cloud. I simply added a run script build phase and put the compiler call into it.
I'm currently working an Eclipse plug-in to provide iPOJO manipulation support.
The principle of iPOJO is to modify the .class files generated by the Java compiler to inject some methods and to add/update an entry to the Manifest.mf file.
Currently, my plug-in provides a project Nature and adds a Builder, added at the end of a project builder list, that calls the iPOJO Manipulator.
I use it on PDE projects.
The complete process works but I have a problem :
When my builder has finished its job (and the building process), the whole building process restarts, erasing the output folder and calling my builder again.
If I don't add a safety trick, it makes the building process loop over and over.
As I work on IResource, an IResourceDeltaEvent must be sent at the end of the building process, so I think the best way to avoid that kind of problem is to hide the fact that the resource has changed.
To be clear, I'm looking for a way to modify the class files after a PDE build, without inducing a new build, and without disabling the workspace auto-build property.
Thanks for answers.
I am a little unclear as to what you are describing.
You mention that you want this to work for PDE builds, but PDE builds happen largely outside of the workspace using ant scripts. They do not use IResource, Builder, or IResourceDeltaEvent.
I am guessing that you don't really mean PDE builds, but rather the building of plugin projects inside of the workspace.
In general, Eclipse (JDT in particular) expects that it has complete control over the output folders. However, there is an option in Preferences -> Java -> Building -> Output Folder called "Rebuild class files generated by others". Ensure that this is disabled. Eclipse should not try to rebuild class files that you touch. If your builder only touches class files then it will not trigger other builds after it changes the class files. The only thing is that you need to be careful not to compile things twice (and I think this is the problem that you are describing).
Alternatively, it may be easier for you to implement a CompilationParticipant (and the org.eclipse.jdt.core.compilationParticipant extension point). This will allow you to know exactly when JDT calls a compilation and exactly what it compiles.
Additionally, you will be notified of reconcile operations (ie- changes in working copies that have not been saved). This may be useful for you if you wanted to manipulate files as-you-type.
