Change output location about sbt-protoc HOT 8 CLOSED

Try with scalaSource from sbt, like:

PB.targets in Compile := Seq(
  scalapb.gen() -> (scalaSource in Compile).value
)

from sbt-protoc.

@BryceCicada almost, it just deleted scalaSource folder. :)

Ah, I see. I tried this out on a project used exclusively for compiling .proto files, on which other projects depend. That is, I had no code in scalaSource so I hadn't noticed this behaviour.

You could try with:

PB.deleteTargetDirectory := false

but then you'd have to do the housekeeping of generated code yourself.

We are getting closer. Last problem, now compile errors out with duplicate class definitions., because sbt-protoc messes with libraryDependencies.

Sad times. I'm not much more help I'm afraid... I've only been a user of this library for a few hours. Hopefully, a more experienced person can step in.

On a side note; I guess you have reasons for putting generated code into your src folder, but I imagine this is not a well-trodden path. For example, one might typically have own code under version control but not generated code, and then have a build (under version control) that creates the generated code. I guess that's what target/src_managed is for, if you exclude target from version control.

@BryceCicada in my case I need to have all code under source control, including generated one.

from sbt-protoc.

Maybe a subdirectory of src/main then?

PB.targets in Compile := Seq(
  scalapb.gen() -> baseDirectory.value / "src/main/scala-protos"
)

from sbt-protoc.

@thesamet hm, this solution is good enough. Thanks.
