Mark directory as sources root from plugin

Hi there,

I haven't tested this; However -

ModifiableRootModel model = ModuleRootManager.getInstance(yourModule).getModifiableModel();

model.addContentEntry(yourVirtualFile).addSourceFolder(yourVirtualFile, false);

model.commit(); // Note - *Must* be called, or model.dispose()

Let me know if this works for you :)

Hi Alan,


Thanks for the quick reply.
It works like a charm, thank you!

There was a small trick, to call "getParent()" on the directory which I wanted marked as a source.

The code used to do this looks like this (in case someone else needs it (and I dont' do anything wrong with it):

ApplicationManager.getApplication().runWriteAction(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        Sdk goSdk = new GoSdk(project);

        ProjectRootManager.getInstance(project).setProjectSdk(goSdk);

        VirtualFile sourceDir;

        try {
            baseDir.createChildDirectory(this, "bin");
            baseDir.createChildDirectory(this, "pkg");
            sourceDir = baseDir.createChildDirectory(this, "src");
        } catch (IOException ignored) {
            return;
        }

        ModifiableRootModel model = ModuleRootManager.getInstance(module).getModifiableModel();
        model.addContentEntry(sourceDir.getParent()).addSourceFolder(sourceDir, false);

        model.commit();
    }
});

Kind regards,
Florin
