I'm working on something that adds on to a project that I can't run easily for testing, so I have some test files that emulate it through command prompt(roughly), and I was wondering how I could exclude those files from the final jar. They're already in a test directory. The main problem is they wont compile when I'm making a build, because I need to change the type from my test class to the actual production class which breaks things in the test class.

huh just mark test directory as test sources

#

right click on java folder under test dir > mark directory as test sources root

I did but intellij still won’t build a jar because those files won’t compile properly

austere rover Feb 8, 2024, 4:49 AM

I have, that works fine

stiff siren Feb 8, 2024, 4:57 AM

#

so whats the problem now 😅

austere rover Feb 8, 2024, 4:58 AM

#

I was asking if there was a way to do that automatically instead of manually

stiff siren Feb 8, 2024, 4:59 AM

#

and putting those in test does not work?

austere rover Feb 8, 2024, 4:59 AM

#

no, it wont build a jar because of an error in a class in tests

stiff siren Feb 8, 2024, 5:00 AM

#

what error is that

austere rover Feb 8, 2024, 5:00 AM

#

Ive slowly come to realize that I've been using the test branch wrong and intellij just sorta wasn't complaining for some reason, its completely my fault for not using it properly

#

the best option is just doing it manually

#

my original problem was I had some code that was an addon to something I couldn't run on my computer, so I had seperate code for it to run on top of while testing, basically just redirecting stuff to command prompt instead of to the server. But I didn't want that included in the jar and wanted an automatic way to do that.
