Spring Boot MongoDb QueryDSL Gradle Intellij Integration for generating the QueryDSL Q classes - mongodb

Question

I am trying to generate the QueryDSL Q classes for my Mongo entities using gradle in a Spring Boot project. The IDE I'm using is Intellij.
The code I'm using is adapted from this topic Generating JPA2 Metamodel from a Gradle build script:
sourceSets {
generated {
java {
srcDirs = ['src/generated/java']
}
}
}
configurations {
querydslapt
}
task generateQueryDSL(type: JavaCompile, group: 'build', description: 'Generates the QueryDSL query types') {
source = sourceSets.main.java
classpath = configurations.compile + configurations.querydslapt
options.compilerArgs = [
"-proc:only",
"-processor", "org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.support.MongoAnnotationProcessor"
]
destinationDir = sourceSets.generated.java.srcDirs.iterator().next()
}
compileJava {
dependsOn generateQueryDSL
source generateQueryDSL.destinationDir
}
compileGeneratedJava {
dependsOn generateQueryDSL
options.warnings = false
classpath += sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
}
clean {
delete sourceSets.generated.java.srcDirs
}
idea {
module {
downloadJavadoc = true
downloadSources = true
generatedSourceDirs += file('src/generated/java')
}
}
The problem is that in the end in Intellij I have 3 modules. Main, test and generated. The test and generated modules are dependent on the main module. I would like also for the main module to be dependent on the generated module since I'm using the generated Q classes in my code.
All my attempts to solve this end up in a cyclic dependency error from Gradle.
Can someone give me some tips what I could try to solve this problem.
Thanks!
