Q: Is it possible to use frgaal only for tests?

[AlexeyKuznetsov-DD]

Nice tool.

I curious if it will be possible to support this tool to be applied only to compileTestJava in terms of Gradle?
I just want to be 100% sure that my main code compiled as before, but tests can be a bit relaxed and compiled with frgaal.

WDYT?

• Interesting question.I can imagine how to do that for Maven. However I am not (e.g. I don't want to be) a Gradle expert...
• the current documentation has been added by @yoyosource in Add Gradle DSL style to README.md #4
• maybe they will know the answer

Hello @AlexeyKuznetsov-DD,
I am currently looking into this locally. The easiest solution might be to separate the tests out into its own module with the frgaal plugin applied only to the test module.

I am still trying to find a solution which does not need a separate gradle module. If that is desired, I hope I will have the answer for that shortly.

One of the issue is where is the FrgaalCompilerPlugin source? So anyone could propose a patch.

Ideally, I'd propose an extension that is queried when configuring the compile tasks.
Either a project extension, and/or maybe task extension could work.

plugins { ... }

frgaal {
  applyEverywhere = false
}

tasks.named<JavaCompile>("compileMyTestSuite") {
  frgaal { 
    enable = true
  }
}

The source can be found in this JAR file. Unusual and cumbersome, but we (me and @eppleton) haven't setup a repository mirror for this part of the Frgaal project (yet). If you have a diff, please share it here and we'll deliver it to the author.
