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.
I was confused about the differences among:
srcDir 'foo'
srcDirs ['foo']
srcDirs = ['foo']
As it turns out, the first two append to the set of source
directories, while the last replaces this set entirely. I generally
want replacement, since WALA's current directory layout never matches
Gradle's assumed defaults.
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).
