In my project I have to generate the grammar sources for more than one language (Java, Javascript and Python) using gradle.
I'm using the antlr plugin, so I have the following rows in my build.gradle file:
apply plugin: 'antlr'
generateGrammarSource {
def languageFlag = project.hasProperty('Language') ?project.property('Language') : 'Python2'
arguments = ['-Dlanguage=' + languageFlag]
def pythonOutputDirectory = "python/engine_lib/kpi_attributes"
switch (languageFlag) {
case "Java":
outputDirectory = file("../../../../XSpotterGUI/sviluppo/src/com/xech/xspotter4/grammars/kpiattributes")
arguments += ['-package', 'com.xech.xspotter4.grammars.kpiattributes']
break
case "JavaScript":
outputDirectory = file("../../../../XSpotterGUI/sviluppo/WebContent/xspotter4/js/xech/grammars/kpiattributes")
break
case "Python2":
outputDirectory = file(pythonOutputDirectory)
break
}
description = 'Generates Java sources from Antlr4 grammars.'
maxHeapSize = "64m"
sourceSets.main.antlr.srcDirs = ['.']
includes = ['KpiAttributes.g4']
doLast {
if (languageFlag.equals("Python2")) {
File file = new File("$pythonOutputDirectory/__init__.py")
file.write ""
}
}
}
I omitted the rows regarding repositories, dependencies and so on.
In this way I'm able to call gradle three times:
./gradlew generateGrammarSource -PLanguage=Java
./gradlew generateGrammarSource -PLanguage=Python2
./gradlew generateGrammarSource -PLanguage=JavaScript
But I have not been able to create a task 'generateAllGrammarSources' in order to call gradlew only ONE time and generate all sources
