Gradle sourceSets resource

Question

I'm trying to use * as generic folder but it doesn't work. I have the following config:

sourceSets {
  main {
    resources { srcDirs = ['app/main/*/resources'] }
  }
}

Any idea?

Answer 1

You need to use ** instead of *, the single asterisk is used for globbing files within a single directory, the double is for nested directories. Note that if you have multiple directories called resources nested inside app/main/, this will find all of them.

sourceSets {
  main {
    resources { srcDirs = ['app/main/**/resources'] }
  }
}
