When IntelliJ IDEA imports WALA's Gradle configuration, it creates
what is calls a "module" for each sourceSet of each Gradle subproject.
In so doing, it automatically picks up the source and resource
directories used by each of these sourceSets. Unfortunately, IntelliJ
IDEA does not allow multiple modules to share a single root directory
as their source or resource directories, and that's exactly what was
going on with the "example-src" subdirectory under
"com.ibm.wala.cast.js.test.data".
This revised Gradle configuration still has is copying the necessary
"example-src" resources to the appropriate locations for use as test
resources. But IntelliJ IDEA no longer treats "example-src" as a root
directory for resources in the automatically-generated modules. So
now we get along nicer with IntelliJ IDEA while keeping everything
working with Gradle as well.
We now download and verify checksums as a single task, rather than as
two separate tasks. This simplifies other task dependencies, since we
no longer have a checksum-verified "stamp" file separate from the
download itself. Unfortunately the combined task now has a
significant amount of repeated boilerplate. I'm hoping to refactor
that all out into a custom task class, but haven't yet figured out the
details:
<https://github.com/michel-kraemer/gradle-download-task/issues/108>.
We now also use ETags to be smarter about when a fresh download is or
is not actually needed. I think there are still opportunities for
improved caching here, but this is a step in the right direction.
The main requirement here is to arrange for the proper classpath
settings when tests are running so that they can find any associated
resources (i.e., other supporting files).
