Gradle 1.2: Exclude directory under resources sourceSets

Question

I have development related directory src/main/resources/certs/test which is needed for one external library. This has some cert files which are not needed in pr

Answer 1

A common projet layout is to put test files under the test source set, this way you don't have to exclude them from the main source set.

From the Gradle documentation, the default project layout is like this:

src/main/java       Production Java source
src/main/resources  Production resources
src/test/java       Test Java source
src/test/resources  Test resources

Answer 2

Using Gradle 1.1, this works for me:

apply plugin: 'war'

sourceSets {
    main {
        resources {
            exclude '**/test/*'
            exclude 'certs/test'
        }
    }
}

Answer 3

I had a similar problem with production files in a JAR file (though mine were not test files). I solved it with the following:

jar {
    exclude ("DIRECTORY-TO-EXCLUDE/**")
}

e.g.

jar {
    exclude ("test/**")
}
