Assembling source jar (sourcesJar Gradle task) on generated library fails due to duplicate source directory entries #893
Description
b/211697397
> Task :grpc-google-cloud-retail-v2alpha-java:sourcesJar FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':grpc-google-cloud-retail-v2alpha-java:sourcesJar'.
> Entry com/google/cloud/retail/v2alpha/CompletionServiceGrpc.java is a duplicate but no duplicate handling strategy has been set. Please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/7.3.1/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.Copy.html#org.gradle.api.tasks.Copy:duplicatesStrategy for details.
Starting with Gradle 7, copying files fail when there are duplicate entries. Some relevant details are here. However, unlike the workarounds suggested there, we should fix the root cause.
In our case, the cause is the following configuration
sourceSets {
main {
java {
srcDir 'src/main/java'
}
}
}where srcDir adds the directory to the main source set. The default value of main.srcDirs is [ 'src/main/java' ], so calling srcDir 'src/main/java' results in [ 'src/main/java', 'src.main/java' ] (duplicates).
