I have an IDEA 2016.1 Enterprise and a Gradle 2.12 multi-module project. In one of the modules, in src/main/resources, I have a file which I would like Gradle to 'expand', here is my configuration:
processResources {
filesMatching('my.properties') {
expand(project.properties)
}
}
(I would like to expand just this single file, and just copy the rest.)
It all works fine when built on the command line, but not by default in IDEA - when I clean and build the project, the file lands in build/resources/main but the placeholders are not replaced. I have to manually invoke the Gradle processResources task using the Gradle pane in IDEA and double clicking on the task.
Is this something I should report to Jetbrains (i.e. a bug) or has anybody have it working and I should change something in my configuration?
When you build from command line, you are using gradle. However, when you build the project from intellij, by default intellij doesn't use gradle to build, but use its internal build system which doesn't understand your gradle's processResources.
One way to solve it is to check "Delegate IDE build/run actions to gradle" as shown below:
If you don't want to use gradle build in intellij, there's another workaround - add processResources as a gradle task to run after build in your "Run/Debug Configurations":
Try adding the dependency in your build.gradle file, eg.
assemble.dependsOn processResources
This should work if you have java plugin applied.

Using IDEA 2017.1(ue); I like to know how I can debug a gradle plugin. I've setup a very simple gradle project (https://github.com/tkvw/gradle-plugin-debug). The project references one plugin org.gradle.hello-world.
My questions are:
1) Where can I set a breakpoint on the helloworld plugin? Normally I lookup my classes/sources using search anywhere in IDEA, but it doesn't find the class/sources. Idea seems to ignore the buildscript dependencies of the gradle build in it's sources lookup path?. (I tried the "old" buildscript block + apply as well)
2) How do I setup -Dorg.gradle.debug=true on the run configuration? If I specify it like this: the task simply runs and doesn't wait for a debugger to be attached.
From the command prompt the command
gradlew -Dorg.gradle.debug=true helloworld
does run and wait for a debugger to connect.
tl;dr: I cannot configure IntelliJ to generate the java files in the same directory as gradle
I have a small project which uses the immutables annotation processor.
It works as expected in the gradle command line build, but I cannot get IntelliJ to output the generated files to the same directory.
The full project is available on GitLab
Gradle config:
I use the folowing gradle plugins:
gradle-idea plugin which handles the idea configuration
gradle-apt-plugin which provides the apt configuration and handles the compile-class path and idea config related to annotation processing (if also the idea plugin is applied)
relevant parts of the build-script (link to the full listing):
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: "net.ltgt.apt"
apply plugin: 'idea'
dependencies {
def immutablesVersion = '2.3.9'
compileOnly "org.immutables:value:$immutablesVersion:annotations"
compileOnly "org.immutables:encode:$immutablesVersion"
apt "org.immutables:value:$immutablesVersion"
}
when I start ./gradlew build everything is as expected:
The source file DataEncoding.java is processed an the generated java-file DataEncodingEnabled.java ends up in
/build/generated/source/apt/main under the expected package com.tmtron.immutables.data
and the generated file is also compiled to a .class file
In IntelliJ I activate the annotation processing as suggested by the gradle-apt-plugin docs:
Then I execute ./gradlew clean to make sure, that the previous files are gone and then I click Build - Build Project in IntelliJ.
The annotation processor is executed, but the problem is that the generated java file ends up in the wrong location:
It is in: /build/generated/source/apt/main/build/generated/source/apt/main/com.tmtron.immutables.data
the bold part is redundant.
What am I doing wrong and how can I set it up correctly, so that IntelliJ and gradle generate the files in the same directory?
Notes:
I have of course already tried to just leave the "Production sources dir" in the IntelliJ annotation configuration empty, but his does not work: then it automatically uses "generated" and I also end up with a wrong path.
IntelliJ version 2016.3.4
Now https://github.com/tbroyer/gradle-apt-plugin states:
The goal of this plugin was to eventually no longer be needed, being superseded by built-in features. This is becoming a reality with Gradle 5.2 and IntelliJ IDEA 2019.1.
So:
dependencies {
compile("com.google.dagger:dagger:2.18")
annotationProcessor("com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.18")
compileOnly("com.google.auto.factory:auto-factory:1.0-beta6")
annotationProcessor("com.google.auto.factory:auto-factory:1.0-beta6")
compileOnly("org.immutables:value-annotations:2.7.1")
annotationProcessor("org.immutables:value:2.7.1")
}
compileOnly is necessary if you use annotations, compile if you use classes, annotationProcessor introduced in Gradle 4.6.
To enable processing specific compile task:
compileJava {
options.annotationProcessorPath = configurations.annotationProcessor
}
To disable:
compileTestJava {
options.compilerArgs += '-proc:none'
}
UPDATE 2.2019
since Gradle 5.2 there is an easy way to do it - see gavenkoas answer
UPDATE 5.2018
The easiest way, I know of is to use the apt-idea plugin
Just activate the plugin in the build.gradle file:
plugins {
id 'java'
id 'net.ltgt.apt-idea' version "0.15"
}
and then add the annotation processors to the annotationProcessor configuration:
final DAGGER_VER = '2.16'
dependencies {
implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger:${DAGGER_VER}"
annotationProcessor"com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:${DAGGER_VER}"
}
Test-project on GitHub: ex.dagger
(using IntelliJ 2018.1.4, Gradle 4.7)
ORIG ANSWER
There's a simple workaround using the parent-dir which works fine in IntelliJ 2016.3.4
Production sources directory: ../main
Test sources directory: ../test
Now gradle and IntelliJ will generate the code to the same directories.
Fixed in GitLab project V0.0.2
see also: apt-gradle-plugin issue#35
Hey there everyone I had the same issue and found a clean way of solving this issue.
I am using two libraries that require annotation processing (Lombok and MapStruct).
Also my IntelliJ is 2019.1 (update yours in case it's older) and Gradle 5.2.1.
First let's configure IntelliJ:
Disable Annotaion Processing in Settings, since we're going to delegate everything to Gradle:
Delegeate IDE actions to Gradle:
Last step is to configure your dependencies correctly in Gradle.
Dependencies section in Gradle:
Now you can execute the Build and Run from both command line and IDE.
Cheers!
2019.2.x
Disable annotation processor of intellij
add, build directory in your gradle build.gradle file
then run your gradle task to generate build file classes, example gradle compileJava
File -> project structure -> Modules -> Main Folder || remove exclude and add as source
And project should find all annotation and generated source file. Hope it helps.
When writing Gradle scripts for my Java project, specifically, when writing build.gradle files, IntelliJ does not recognize the Gradle API.
For instance, Gradle methods calls like apply, dependencies configure appear with a black line under them and it is not possible to navigate to method declarations, there is no auto-completion etc.
I managed to work around this by adding compile gradleApi() to the build's dependencies block. However, I don't want to have this explicit dependency in my code.
I tried editing IntelliJ's project structure and add a dependency on a Gradle library (tried gradle-core and gradle-all) to my modules, but that seems to have no effect.
Is there a way to make IntelliJ associate all build.gradle files with the Gadle sources?
I solved this problem as follows:
As mention in already posted answers, configure gradle
update gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file
change bin to all in distributionUrl i.e.
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8.3-bin.zip
to
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8.3-all.zip
OR
[optional] If you are using old version of gradle wrapper and wanted to upgrade, then execute
./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 6.8.3 --distribution-type all
Update gradle task (if present in build file)
wrapper {
gradleVersion = '6.8.3'
distributionType = Wrapper.DistributionType.ALL
}
Before importing the project to IntelliJ-Idea IDE, update build.gradle and add java and idea plugin to the plugins list
plugins {
id "java-library"
id "idea"
}
From a terminal, execute ./gradlew clean build idea or simply ./gradlew idea
Import project to IntelliJ idea.
Go to Preferences --> build,Execution,Deployment --> BuildTools --> Gradle
You can see
Restart IntelliJ idea IDE.
So above we have configured both of the options so choose either of them, except the specified location option. That's it.
Before
After
Autocomplete functionality as mentioned in this answer.
I had similar frustrations with Grails 3, which defines and runs a wrapper task when an app is created. Changing to the "all" zip in the wrapper properties file did not work because this kept getting changed back to the "bin" zip.
This was solved when it was understood that the "gradle-wrapper.properties" file simply stores the values from the "wrapper" task, and if this task is run after the properties are changed, they get changed right back.
This is easily fixed by setting some properties on the wrapper task:
wrapper.gradleVersion='3.2.1'
wrapper.distributionType=Wrapper.DistributionType.ALL
Now importing the project into IDEA gives you smart editing of your build.gradle.
when I choose build.gradle in IDEA and open it, IDE prompts
You can configure Gradle wrapper to use distribution with sources. It will provide IDE with Gradle API/DSL documentation.
I choose Ok, apply suggestion!
after project refreshing I am able to use code completion
before you import your project, configure it to use the customizable gradle wrapper as per the instructions here :-
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html
add a task to your top level project like this:-
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
println "Wrapper gradleVersion = '2.12'"
gradleVersion = '2.12'
}
or whatever the latest version is.
make sure you can build the project from the gradle command line before you try importing into intelliJ, using the ./gradlew command, which will download and install a gradle distribution for you the first time you build.
set your java home, intelliJ home and gradle home variables in your machine and in intelliJ (mine look like this, yours may be different depending on your setup and your history of hacking around your machine...:-
(from .bashrc
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home
)
When you do import, choose the customisable gradle wrapper. if all is well, when you open the top level build.gradle for your project, you will be asked to configure sources for the gradle dsl, which will also update your gradle wrapper properties file to this:-
#Thu Mar 31 14:04:00 BST 2016
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.12-all.zip
.. the change being from ... bin.zip to all.zip. and that's it. This had been giving me lots of grief for a long time, but that's the way to do it. (on IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1 CE at least...)
most of this was in
Dimitry's answer too, but I couldn't get it to work using the default wrapper , it had to be the customisable wrapper.
This is snippet from my build.gradle file:
test{
systemProperty "test", "test"
}
Then I have my test code which looks like this:
#org.junit.Test
public void test(){
Assert.assertEquals("test", System.getProperty("test"));
}
And when I run this test from command line it is passing. If I choose in gradle window task test and click right mouse button and then select run this test also pass. However when I go to test itself and select run on method name it does not pass. It looks like in the third case IntelliJ completely ignored gradle context. Is there something that can be done to make this test work when running directly from IDE? Thanks in advance for reply. Gradle version 2.3.3 and IntelliJ 14.0.2
IntelliJ doesn't currently understand such configuration. To fully solve this category of problems, IntelliJ will need to use Gradle as its underlying build/execution engine, like Android Studio already does today. Until this happens (or support for this specific use case is added to IntelliJ), you'll have to define the same system property in the IntelliJ run configuration (template).
If you use the IntelliJ project generation approach (gradle idea), you can (with some effort) make Gradle generate such a run configuration (template). This is something we do for Gradle's own build.
For IntelliJ you need to add your System Property -Dtest=test to Gradle VM options within Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle
I am trying to import a Gradle project into IntelliJ, and when I get to the Gradle Home textbox, it is not automatically populated, nor will typing in the path of Gradle Home result in a valid location - I have the GRADLE_USER_HOME environment variable set (to what I think is!) the correct path, and I have been able to successfully import this same project into Eclipse. Any suggestions?
You can write a simple gradle script to print your GRADLE_HOME directory.
task getHomeDir {
doLast {
println gradle.gradleHomeDir
}
}
and name it build.gradle.
Then run it with:
gradle getHomeDir
If you installed with homebrew, use brew info gradle to find the base path (i.e. /usr/local/Cellar/gradle/1.10/), and just append libexec.
The same task in Kotlin in case you use build.gradle.kts:
tasks.register("getHomeDir") {
println("Gradle home dir: ${gradle.gradleHomeDir}")
}
Installed on a Mac via Homebrew, the path
/usr/local/opt/gradle/libexec
is preferable to
/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/X.X/libexec
since the former will survive version upgrades.
If you installed gradle with homebrew, then the path is:
/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/X.X/libexec
Where X.X is the version of gradle (currently 2.1)
If you are using IntelliJ, just do the following.
Close the project
(re)Open the project
you will see "Import gradle project" message on the right bottom. click.
select "Use default gradle wrapper". not "Use local gradle distribution"
That's all.
This is what helped me solve the problem of not having Gradle home set for the IDEA when importing a Gradle project.
THREE OPTIONS -- (A) Default Wrapper (B) "gradle 'wrapper' task configuration" OR (C) "local gradle distribution" defined by jetbrains: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/gradle-settings.html
A. Default Wrapper (recommended)
If you are able, select this recommended option. If it is grayed out, see option C, which should then set your default for all subsequent projects.
B. Gradle 'Wrapper' Task Configuration
If you want IDEA to define your gradle version for you from your build script
Set this option if you define your gradle build versions as a task within your actual gradle build.
Example below from jetbrains: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/gradle-settings.html
(useful if you do not want to share gradle builds between projects)
C. Local Gradle Distribution
1. Run the following command to get gradle location:
brew info gradle (if gradle was installed with homebrew)
2. You are looking for something like this:
/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/4.8.1
3. Next, append 'libexec' to the gradle location you just found:
/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/4.8.1/libexec
This is because "libexec is to be used by other daemons and system utilities executed by other programs" (i.e. IDEA). Please see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/312146/what-is-the-purpose-of-usr-libexec
4. Finally, put that new path in the Gradle home input box if IDEA prompts you.
IDEA should now have allowed you to hit OK
C:\Users\<_username>\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-<_version>-all\<_number_random_maybe>\gradle-<_version>
\Android studio\gradle didn't worked for me.
And "Default gradle wrapper" wasn't configured while importing (cloning) the project from bitbucket
If it causes problem to figure out the path, here is my path :
C:\Users\prabs\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-5.4.1-all\3221gyojl5jsh0helicew7rwx\gradle-5.4.1
This is instruction for MAC only.
I had the same problem. I solved it by configuring $GRADLE_HOME in .bash_profile. Here's how you do it:
Open .bash_profile (usually it's located in the user’s home directory).
Add the following lines to update $PATH variable:
export GRADLE_HOME=/usr/local/opt/gradle/libexec
export PATH=$GRADLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
Save it.
Apply your changes by running
source .bash_profile
I wrote my own article with instruction in a case if somebody will encounter the same problem.
On a mac it should ideally be at : /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-2.14.1
(Replace the version string with the latest)
AFAIK it is GRADLE_HOME not GRADLE_USER_HOME (see gradle installation http://www.gradle.org/installation).
On the other hand I played a bit with Gradle support in Idea 13 Cardea and I think the gradle home is not automatically discover by Idea. If so you can file a issue in youtrack.
Also, if you use gradle 1.6+ you can use the Graldle support for setting the build and wrapper. I think idea automatically discover the wrapper based gradle project.
$ gradle setupBuild --type java-library
$ gradle wrapper
Note: Supported library types: basic, maven, java
Regards
If you're using MacPorts, the path is
/opt/local/share/java/gradle
I had to setup the Project SDK before selecting gradle path. Once that was set correctly, I had to choose "Use default gradle wrapper (recommended) in "Import Project from Gradle" dialog.
Still works if I remove gradle using brew:
$ brew remove gradle
This is where my gradle home is (Arch Linux):
/usr/share/java/gradle/
I had some weird errors where it could not find my class, I had to right click on my src folder (was red) to "Make Directory as" -> Source Folder Root
Click New -> Project from existing sources -> Import gradle project...
Then Idea recognized gradle automatically.
I couldn't get it to accept my Gradle JVM selection until I deleted a broken JDK
Th window below is from File -> Other Settings -> Structure For New Projects...
I had a red 1.8 JDK SDK entry here, once I deleted that Gradle JVM error below disappeared and I could move on to the next step
In case you are using Mac, most probably your gradle home should be /usr/local/gradle-2.0 for example.
In preference of IDEA search for gradle and set gradle home as given above.
It should work
