I am using Gradle and AutoValue to generate sources for me, but IntelliJ IDEA doesn’t recognize the generated sources folder. I could find some links about this, but they are all from 2016, none worked for me, and I could see some people saying this doesn’t work anymore on the new versions of IntelliJ IDEA.
My code build fine in Gradle, but IntelliJ IDEA insist I have an error, since it doesn’t “see” the generated classes.
I tried already to:
- Mark the generated source folder as a Generated Sources Root folder.
- Mark the generated source folder as a source folder.
- The idea plugin for gradle, as many suggested, like in here.
- Disabling “Create separate module for source set”
None of this works.
How can I fix this?
Just to clarify, I have a root Gradle project ( main_project ), and 2 subprojects ( subproject_a and subproject_b ). The generated sources are inside one of the sub projects, under ../main_project/subproject_a/build/generated/sources/annotationProcessor/java/main/...
Here’s IntelliJ IDEA telling me there’s an error in my User class because it can’t find the generated source it uses, which is AutoValue_User (and the generated folder just right there):
