Compile Groovy and Kotlin?

Question

I'm working on a small project with Groovy and Kotlin, and my Kotlin code depends on my Groovy code, not the other way around. However, Kotlin compiles my code first instead of Groovy, and, as a result, I get errors like Unresolved reference: SiteRepository

Any suggestions how I can fix this, by either changing the build sequence, or Kotlin depending explicitly on Groovy, or any other suggestion?

Answer 1

It can be done like so:

After 4.10

Kotlin First:

//compileKotlin.dependsOn = compileKotlin.taskDependencies.values - 'compileJava' compileGroovy.dependsOn compileKotlin compileGroovy.classpath += files(compileKotlin.destinationDir) classes.dependsOn compileGroovy 

Before 4.10

Groovy First:

compileGroovy.dependsOn = compileGroovy.taskDependencies.values - 'compileJava' compileKotlin.dependsOn compileGroovy compileKotlin.classpath += files(compileGroovy.destinationDir) classes.dependsOn compileKotlin 

or Kotlin First:

compileKotlin.dependsOn = compileKotlin.taskDependencies.values - 'compileJava' compileGroovy.dependsOn compileKotlin compileGroovy.classpath += files(compileKotlin.destinationDir) classes.dependsOn compileGroovy 

To be clear, you get to choose whether your Kotlin code depends on Groovy or Groovy on Kotlin, but you don't get to have it both ways.
