Resource folder not included.. Problem is " Unable to transcode ..."

Working on my Maven to Gradle migration I am now encountering problems getting resources into the build. Resources are placed in the default "src/main/resources" directory, which I have declared just to be sure:

srcDirs  = [
    "src/main/flex"
]
resourceDirs = [
    "src/main/resources"
]

Here is the output of my build (using SDK 3.6 and GradleFX 0.6). Note that I am trying with and without leading slash! Also, I have tried with SDK 4.9 and GradleFX 0.6.3 which produces the same transcoding errors.

   This is not a GradleFx issue; it's directly related to the compiler. FlashBuilder has some tricks to resolve certain paths that mxmlc doesn't have, which is probably why you don't get these errors when you compile through the IDE.

   To fix it, you must adjust the paths in the Embed statements.
   Supposing your directory structure is like this:

   • src/main/flex
   • src/main/assets

   it should be something like:

   [Embed(source="/../assets/cursor_resize.gif")]
   

   (From the 'flex' dir, go up one directory, and go back down into assets)

   On a side note: src/main/flex is not the default, src/main/actionscript is.

   BUILD SUCCESSFUL!

   Thanks heaps!!

   Side note: I am declaring like this now:
   

        [Embed(source="/../resources/assets/cursor_move.gif")]
           public var moveIcon:Class;
   

   However ;) when compiling with Maven/Flexmojos I did not have to rewrite my embed statements.. Somehow flexmojos could cope...?

   Good to know.
   Perhaps we could add this feature one day.

   You can also create an assets folder under src/main/flex.
   So for example your configuration is this:

   srcDirs  = [
       "src/main/flex"
   ]
   

   Then you create the following directory structure with the gif in it:

   src/main/flex/assets/cursor_move.gif
   

   Then you can reference this gif in your code like this:

   @Embed('/assets/cursor_move.gif')
   

   The thing here is that cursor_move.gif will be embedded into the application, so it should be under a source folder. 'src/main/resources' is more for configuration files (like xml) which aren't compiled into the application but are read at runtime.

   See this sample project for an example: https://github.com/GradleFx/GradleFx-Examples/tree/master/multiproj...

   "I believe this occurs when the sources of the Flash Builder project are not directly rooted in the project directory. You can check for that by looking under:

   Project -> Properties -> Flex Library Build Path -> Library Path

   There you’ll find the “Main source folder”. The problem seems to occur whenever the value is not empty."

   I'm having a similar issue, but nothing seems to work for me. Here's is what I've so far:

   these are the directory structure I have tried so far:
   Case 1

   app/
       src/
           com/
               sample
                   sample.as
       assets/
           images/
               sample.jpg
   

   Case 2

   app/
       src/
           com/
               sample
                   sample.as
           assets/
               images/
                   sample.jpg
   

   Case 3

   app/
       src/
           com/
               sample
                   sample.as
       resources
           assets/
               images/
                   sample.jpg
   

   and on my sample.as I have:
   

   [Embed(source="assets/images/sample.jpg")]
   

   and I'm using these on my build.gradle file:

   For Case 1

   type = 'swc'
   srcDirs  = [
       "src/" 
   ]
   resourceDirs = [
       "assets"
   ]
   dependencies {
       external fileTree(dir: 'libs/', include: '*.swc')
   }
   

   For Case 2

   type = 'swc'
   srcDirs  = [
       "src/" 
   ]
   resourceDirs = [
       "src/assets"
   ]
   dependencies {
       external fileTree(dir: 'libs/', include: '*.swc')
   }
   

   For Case 3

   type = 'swc'
   srcDirs  = [
       "src/" 
   ]
   resourceDirs = [
       "resources"
   ]
   dependencies {
       external fileTree(dir: 'libs/', include: '*.swc')
   }
   

   Any help would be really apreciated

   Sorry, it seems that my problem was not there, the previous solution seems to work, but I also have some images inside the src/ dir is there a way to expose only image files i.e. .jpg, .png, etc?

8. Support Staff 8 Posted by Yennick Trevels on 27 Feb, 2015 08:32 PM

   

   Everything you put in src/ will be packaged into your swc/swf, so you will be able to use those in your Embed statements.
   Or can you please clarify what you exactly mean by "expose only images files"? Not sure I understand the question correctly.

   Not change:
   [Embed(source = "/assets/images-mod-authen/spinner.swf")]

   srcDirs = ['src/main/flex/']

   Project structure as image attach.
   Please help me include assets folder to compile. I using command : resourceDirs = ['src/main/resources/'], but not working.

    Can you try to put the assets into the src.main.flex folder?
