Hi Kevin, Late to the party but I happened to see this thread now in my inbox. We also run our codegen via Gradle, using a custom source set named "codegen". We definitely don't have to specify any fully qualified path names, so this problem seems a bit odd indeed. Here's an excerpt from our build.gradle:
tasks.register( 'createAuditLoggingDbJooqDomainClasses', JavaExec ) { mainClass = 'fi.hibox.centre.audit.db.codegen.CreateAuditLoggingDbJooqDomainClasses' classpath = sourceSets.codegen.runtimeClasspath inputs.files( fileTree( 'src/codegen' ) ) inputs.files( fileTree( 'src/main' ) ) args( 'src/generated/java', 'fi.hibox.centre.audit.db.domain' ) outputs.dir( 'src/generated/java' ) } (The CreateAuditLoggingDbJooqDomainClasses class is a Java console application which calls the org.jooq.codegen.GenerationTool class to run the code generation. It was convenient for us to wrap this in a Java class so we could take care of launching the Postgres server in a Testcontainer instance, apply DB migrations using Flyway and then run the jOOQ code gen, once the DB is fully up and "ready" with all the tables/etc in place.) What does your use case look like more in detail, I guess you run this towards a "fixed", existing DB rather than a Docker container? Could you share some of your build.gradle to illustrate how you run the code generation in this case?

Based on that I assumed the base directory was going to be the current project directory, obviously it's not Kevin On Mon, Jul 10, 2023 at 2:30 PM Lukas Eder <lukas.e...@gmail.com<mailto:lukas.e...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi Kevin, jOOQ's code generator doesn't really know *how* you run it. I'm not a Gradle guru myself, but build tools often set base directories in one way or another (e.g. where you run the gradle process isn't the same as where the project resides, or the parent project in case you have modules, etc.) Personally, I never trust my judgement in understanding this behaviour, and instead, always use explicit environment variables, system properties or other well known variables. So, telling jOOQ explicitly what $projectDir means to you, which is a well known, documented variable, does seem quite alright, no? Why wouldn't it be? See: https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.Project.html#N14F19 Cheers, Lukas On Sat, Jul 8, 2023 at 7:00 PM Kevin Jones <ke...@knowledgespike.com<mailto:ke...@knowledgespike.com>> wrote: I've setup JOOQ code generation in Gradle using the Kotlin DSL. The generator works except that I have to use the fully qualified name for the output directory, so .withTarget( Target() .withPackageName("com.knowledgespike.db") .withDirectory("/users/kevinj/projects/thisproject/src/main/generated/kotlin") ) works, but .withTarget( Target() .withPackageName("com.knowledgespike.db") .withDirectory("src/main/generated/kotlin") ) doesn't If I set the baseDirectory on the configuration object that also works (i.e. I get the code generated relative to the base directory). What I'd like is to get the code generated in my current project directory. I can call .withBasedir("$projectDir") but that doesn't feel right to me. Should this "just work"?
