Update to support annotationProcessor configuration

[ivangonzalez88]

Hi,

I am using the groovy plugin in order to use Spock framework. Recently we added a library for runtime permissions in android
https://github.com/hotchemi/PermissionsDispatcher which uses annotation processors, the library is generating the class files, i am able to see them, but when the task compileDebugGroovyWithGroovyc runs, it always fails with the below message /Users/ionzalez/Documents/twc/flagship_phone/app/src/main/java/com/weather/commons/ups/ui/AbstractLoginActivity.java:206: error: cannot find symbol AbstractLoginActivityPermissionsDispatcher.loginWithGooglePlusWithCheck(AbstractLoginActivity.this); ^ symbol: variable AbstractLoginActivityPermissionsDispatcher location: class AbstractLoginActivity.GoogleLoginWithGooglePlusWithCheck
This happen for all the generated classes by the processor, but somehow groovy compiler does not pick them. If i remove the plugin everything works fine apply plugin: 'groovyx.android'
We were able to run spock test before, and it worked well with the permissions library. I started noticing this problem after removing android-apt plugin, which is deprecated.

this is my configuration
classpath 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-android-gradle-plugin:1.1.0'
apply plugin: 'groovyx.android'
//groovy and spock dependency
testCompile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.4.7:grooid'
testCompile 'org.spockframework:spock-core:1.0-groovy-2.4'
//Permissions dependency
annotationProcessor 'com.github.hotchemi:permissionsdispatcher-processor:2.3.2
compile 'com.github.hotchemi:permissionsdispatcher:2.3.0'

Thanks & Regards

Have you followed the steps in the README.md about annotation processing with the plugin?

[ivangonzalez88]

Yes i try it.

androidGroovy { options { configure(groovyOptions) { javaAnnotationProcessing = true } } }
The android-apt plugin is deprecated http://www.littlerobots.nl/blog/Whats-next-for-android-apt/, as soon as i got rid of it, it started failing.

Have you tried skipping javac and only haveing groovyc run as well?

If you could please provide a failing test for this it would be helpful for debugging.
Similar to https://github.com/groovy/groovy-android-gradle-plugin/blob/master/groovy-android-gradle-plugin/src/test/groovy/groovyx/functional/SkipJavaCSpec.groovy

@ivangonzalez88 any update on this?

[ivangonzalez88]

Hi, i could not work around on this, not skipping java c or using joint compilation worked. We disable it for now since we are using 2.4-dev version from gradle, maybe this 2.4-dev version of the gradle plugin is somehow affecting.

Running into the same issue within android plugin 2.3.1 which includes annotation processing [1] :
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1'
classpath 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-android-gradle-plugin:1.1.0'
}
As mentioned in the README.md:

"Important android-apt must be applied after the groovy android plugin."

This could not be satisfied, because of the annotation processing is included in com.android.tools.build:gradle!

On my project updating to use the annotationProcessor configuration instead of apt does not cause this error, but also appears to not run that annotation processor.

Same problem here :( Using annotationProcessor does not run. Using groovy for unit test with Spock only. Dagger and Databinding generated classes end up "not existing"
Any update/idea on this?

Fixed in #149 which should be deployed in the snapshot if you want to try it out.

Merged into 1.2.0 branch
