Re: [gradle-user] gradle "clean" doesn't work when you override the classes dir?

I had to override the classes directory to make  gradle work with our

the classes dir.  Any suggestions?

here is the code:

sourceSets {
     main {
         java {
             srcDir '../src/java/core'
         }
     }

     test {
         java {
             srcDir '../src/java/test'
         }
     }
}

sourceSets.main.classesDir = new File("../build/out/classes")
sourceSets.test.classesDir = new File("../build/out/classes")
   

The clean task deletes the $projectDir/build directory. In your case, 
the classes aren't under this directory and aren't getting deleted.

The task could potentially also delete the output of some of the tasks 
of the project, such as the compile tasks, regardless of whether they 
are under $projectDir/build directory or not. Perhaps you could add a 
JIRA issue for this problem?

In the meantime, you can do something like

clean.doLast {
    sourceSets.each {
        ant.delete(dir: it.classesDir)
    }
}

or, in 0.9

clean {
    from sourceSets*.classesDir
}
