Hi,

Im trying to migrate my code from ant to gradle and imported my build.xml in build.gradle and some of my tasks work fine.
However there are some tasks when i run them it says

Execution failed for task ':compile'.
> srcdir attribute must be set!

Pasting a snippet of my Build.xml and the compile task below is failing.

<project basedir="." default="deploy-copy" name="FitNesse">
<property name="fitnesse.target" value="/deploy/test-fitnesse"/>

<patternset id="test.patternset">
<include name="**/*Test*.java"/>
</patternset>
<propertyset id="test.propertyset">
<propertyref name="basedir"/>
<propertyref name="test.patternset"/>
</propertyset>


<fileset id="classpath.fitnesse" dir="./libs">
<include name="antlr-2.7.7.jar"/>
<include name="asm-4.1.jar"/>
<include name="asm-analysis-4.1.jar"/>
<include name="asm-commons-4.1.jar"/>
<include name="asm-tree-4.1.jar"/

><target name="compile" description="Compile the Qkn java sources" depends="clean">
<mkdir dir="build/classes"/>
<javac includeantruntime="false"/>
<javac srcdir="src/main/java" destdir="build/classes" debug="on">
<classpath refid="classpath.compile"/>
<compilerarg value="-processorpath"/>
<compilerarg value="-AmethodConstraintsSupported=true"/>
</javac>
</target>


Source folder structure
/src/main/java/com/xebia/incubator/xebium

I had changed my src folder structure from ant "src" to a gradle project "/src/main/java/com/xebia/incubator/xebium".

Please help. I'm kind of blocked.

Thanks,
abhi

I'm no Gradle expert, but if I got an error message which says "srcdir attribute must be set", the first thing I would try would be to set the srcdir attribute. I notice that your "compile" task doesn't have any such attribute, too, so it shouldn't be too hard to put one in. So why don't you try that? Let us know if you continue to have problems.

I have the srcdir attribute added to the task already..
<javac srcdir="src/main/java" destdir="build/classes" debug="on">

(Still in non-expert mode:) Why are there two <javac> elements? Only one of them has a srcdir attribute.
