Is there a problem with the Kotlin compiler when trying to compile against multiple Java source directories? I have a process that generates some code into a generated sources dir. Then, the Kotlin compiler runs, depending on some of this Java source code. In my Gradle project, I have the following:

sourceSets {  
&nbsp;&nbsp;main {  
&nbsp;&nbsp;java {  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;srcDir ‘src/main/java’  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;srcDir ‘generated/’  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;srcDir ‘src/main/kotlin’  
&nbsp;&nbsp;}  
&nbsp;&nbsp;}  
}

  
But the generated directory doesn’t seem to be getting picked up by the kotlin compiler, though it is picked up by the Java compiler.

Jon,

Thank you for the report. I have opened an issue: [http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-4393](http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-4393)

As a workaround, please add following section to your build:

compileKotlin {  
&nbsp;&nbsp;setClasspath(getClasspath() + files(‘generated’))  
}
