Hi,

Can you provide an example project with build script? I am not familiar with android projects.

Hi Neal,
Thanks for the quick response. Here is one of the sample app projects with Gradle:

Hi,
I found the issue. The android plugin doesn't use the projects.sourceSets, it uses android.sourceSets. The plugin currently only looks for source in the project.sourceSets. I'll have to take some time to figure out how to support the source from android.

Great, thanks for looking into this!

Hi,

Please checkout and build this branch...

Instead of trying to determine the source directories from the sourceSets you explicitly set the sourceDirectories, classDirectories, and coverityClasspath in the coverity configuration.

Here is an example build script. The android plugin configures the source and class folders differently from java so you'll need to setup those according to the android plugin.

buildscript {
  repositories { 
    ivy {
       url '../coverityplugin/build/repos/ivy/'
    }
    }
    dependencies {
    classpath 'naedward.gradle:coverityplugin:0.11.0'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'coverity'

coverity {
   intermediateDir = file("build/coverity")
   sourceDirectories = files("src")
   classDirectories = files("build/classes")
   coverityClasspath = project.sourceSets.main.compileClasspath
}
