A cleaned tree is now much closer to a pristine tree that has just
been checked out and never built. The only extra created files that
are left behind are ".gradle", "buildSrc/.gradle", and
"buildSrc/build".
This gets rid of some Eclipse warnings that stem from Buildship being
confused about what it should treat as a source directory if Maven and
Gradle are both being used in the same tree.
Previously we were repeating the library path twice, but that's not
good for long-term maintenance. That being said, extracting this
information from the depths of the native software model seems *far*
more complex than it should be. I had hoped for something nicer in
response to
<https://discuss.gradle.org/t/compute-wl-rpath-flag-suitable-for-native-shared-library/25278>,
but so far there's nothing.
Previously Maven did this, but Gradle did not. So Gradle testing
would only succeed if we'd already done a Maven build first. Now
these tests pass in a fresh tree that's never seen a Maven build.
Some tests in other subprojects do depend on some these extra jar
files. But they can declare those specific dependencies as needed.
Nothing seems to depend on the entire group of extra jars, so it's not
really useful to declare a task that is merely an alias for all of
them.
Many tests are excluded until
<https://github.com/liblit/WALA/issues/5> is fixed. But we can at
least have Travis-CI watching over our shoulder to ensure that
no *new* regressions sneak into the tree.
<https://github.com/liblit/WALA/issues/5> notes that several
subprojects' tests are currently broken under Gradle. I'd still like
to be able to run non-broken tests, though. So here I'm disabling the
failing tests. The intent is to treat these exclusions as a to-do
list. We can remove exclusions as we get the corresponding tests
working. No more exclusions means
<https://github.com/liblit/WALA/issues/5> is fixed.
It's rather slow, adding roughly five seconds to every "./gradlew"
invocation. And the advice it gives might not even be reaching a
fixed point. I like the idea of running the linter as part of CI
testing, but I now think it's overkill to impose on every developer
build.
I don't know whether Windows or MacOS needs anything similar. If they
do, the details will differ, and should be handled by adding suitable
cases to these switch statements.
This partially reverts 72bc456b7. I'm starting to wonder whether the
linter might be driving us in cycles rather than reaching a fixed
point. We should keep our eyes on this.
I'm not actually sure why this archive is needed, except that it is
mentioned in "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" and "build.properties". If we
eventually stop supporting Maven, then we may be able to discard the
"copyJarsIntoLib" task and the corresponding lines in
"META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" and "build.properties"
This consistently happens when I import WALA as an existing Gradle
project into Eclipse with Buildship. I don't really know what this
change means, or whether it's desirable. For now, I'm going to trust
Buildship and see what happens.
