My project structure:
main
----+ folders
----+ build.gradle
----+ settings.gradle
dependency
----+ folders
----+ jooq
----+ build.gradle
----+ settings.gradle
‘dependency’ is only needed in the build phase. It contains a .jar which is generated before ‘main’ “asks for it”. Performing a clean on ‘dependency’ before a clean build for ‘main’ throws this error:
Execution failed for task ':test-service:generateMysqlJooqSchemaSource'.
> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ... .Generator
A simple gradle build under ‘main’ finishes without any errors
I believe gradle might have some specific cache loaded which prevents it from detecting something.jar preventing it from accessing the class.
(Sidenote: ‘main’ and ‘dependency’ are named differently)
Cheers!
