  Some problems were found with the configuration of task ':app:testCodeCpdCheck' (type 'Cpd').

My cpdcheck.gradle file like belo

            import de.aaschmid.gradle.plugins.cpd.Cpd
            
            apply plugin: "de.aaschmid.cpd"

           // for source code cpd check (below task was running fine)
            cpd {
                language = 'java'
                toolVersion = '6.10.0'
                minimumTokenCount = 100 // approximately 5-10 lines
            }
            
            cpdCheck {
                reports {
                    text.enabled = true
                    xml.enabled = false
                }
            
                source = fileTree(dir: "$rootDir.absolutePath", includes: [
                        "app/src/main/java/**",

                }
                source = fileTree('src/test/java')
            }

my build.gradle version: 4.0.2
Distributions gradle-6.1.1

[aaschmid]

Which gradle-cpd-plugin version do you use @RameshbabuJaga?

[RameshbabuJaga]

@aaschmid am using gradle-cpd-plugin:3.2

[RameshbabuJaga]

Basically, I want to configure the Source code and Test code with two different gradle files. So that I can manage duplicate codes based on the minimumTokenCount. For this, I am trying the above way.

[aaschmid]

Ah ok, if you look at the documentation on https://github.com/aaschmid/gradle-cpd-plugin#supported-versions, the v3.2 is no longer supported with Gradle < 6.6. Can your try to upgrade either Gradle or use gradle-cpd-plugin:3.1?

[RameshbabuJaga]

@aaschmid still same error

[aaschmid]

What have you tried? Both, upgrade Gradle and downgrade de.aaschmid.cpd?

Unfortunately, I have no further ideas yet. Therefore, I need to deeper investigate into that. Any further information would appreciated as I could not easily reproduce it ...

Edit: Working OSS examples: https://github.com/C-Otto/playground and https://github.com/TNG/junit-dataprovider.

[RameshbabuJaga]

I have tried to upgrade Gradle and downgrade de.aaschmid.cpd few versions.

[aaschmid]

Have you ever seen a working version or did you set it up from scratch?
(I need further information in order reproduce it...)

[RameshbabuJaga]

@aaschmid I have started this myself from the scratch. Actually, I want to take this CPD part out of the app build gradle file.
So I created cpdcheck.gradle file and pointed app build gradle like this

apply from: '../gradle-config/cpdcheck.gradle'
afterEvaluate {
assembleDebug.dependsOn cpdCheck
}

Everything fine here. When I run cpdCheck on the source code it's working fine. Same way when I run the test code
task testCodeCpdCheck

I am getting this error.

[RameshbabuJaga]

@aaschmid basically any idea how to create two different configurations for the Source and Test codes. So that I can manage easily at the time of each build.

[aaschmid]

@aaschmid I have started this myself from the scratch. Actually, I want to take this CPD part out of the app build gradle file.

Ah ok. It is working currently but no longer working after your refactoring, right?

@aaschmid basically any idea how to create two different configurations for the Source and Test codes. So that I can manage easily at the time of each build.

Now I got it. You want to have two Cpd tasks. You can create multiple cpd tasks by

  task anotherCpdTask(type: Cpd) {
    // config goes here
  }

with source being once subprojects*.sourceSets*.main*.java*.srcDirs (prod code) and once subprojects*.sourceSets*.test*.java*.srcDirs (test code)

(However, if you reuse the pre-configured cpdCheck task and configure and use it twice, does not explain the error message for me...)

[RameshbabuJaga]

@aaschmid Further I will look into it. But still, I have no idea from where that error popped up. As you saw that I have two different cpd checks with respect to the source. Still wondering about the error.

[aaschmid]

Any news on this @RameshbabuJaga ?
