[Solved] Help with Intellij and resources

[SuperKamiCatbug 2]

I think all the code and names are correct, since the jar file from gradlew build works with no problems.

[SuperKamiCatbug 2]

I spent a while messing the the debugger to see how FML is loading the mod and it's resources. I was able to find out that it loads the mod with directory build/classes, which is fine...but then when loading resource packs in which to find textures, the same mod location is added as a resource path. Though both build/classes and build/resources are in the classpath, build/resources is never used because no mods were found in it, while build/classes is used as the resource path because it is the mod's class path. This would explain why compiling to a .jar works, because then the class path and resource path are the same. To test, I copied my resources to the build/classes folder, and it worked. How to fix this, though, I have no clue >.>

And this is why eclipse is better (I guess just personal preference, but seems to have more features and support) why did you switch?

[SuperKamiCatbug 2]

Aside from just wanting to try something new, I was also having difficulty getting the code completion in Eclipse to work the way I wanted it to. In IntelliJ it's working perfectly but otherwise no particular reason. Yes Eclipse does have lots of features, but I never really used any of them that IntelliJ doesn't have. I actually like the less feature-cluttered workspace lol

[SuperKamiCatbug 2]

After looking more closely at why it works in Eclipse, I noticed that Eclipse puts everything into a bin folder, both compiled classes and resources. This would make the class path and resource path the same, and so it works properly. So I guess now the question is, how can I set up IntelliJ to put classes and resources in the same directory?

Most of this is beyond my current knowledge so this may be a stupid question but i noticed toy setup your workspace in a way i am not familiar with.

 

the en_US.lang file is in src\main\resources\assets\tutorialorange\lang and the texture is in src\resources\assets\tutorialorange\blocks (tutorialorange is the mod id). IntelliJ was setup by running gradlew setupDecompWorkspace --refresh-dependencies, importing the build.gradle file into IntelliJ as a project, and then running gradlew gIR to set up the run commands.

 

Have you tried creating a fresh workspace and using

gradlew setupDecompWorkspace

gradlew idea

Gave it a try, but it didn't work.

Use diesieben07's tutorial for setting up Forge with IntelliJ. Tutorial found in the tutorials section.

[SuperKamiCatbug 2]

Tried that too, no change 

[SuperKamiCatbug 2]

Well I figured it out. I knew I must have been missing something obvious, and I was...IntelliJ 14 places resources in it's own resource folder, while IntelliJ 13 places them in the classes folder. No tutorials I've seen mentioned a version, but I saw from screenshots that 13 was being used. I had just gone ahead and grabbed the latest though, and apart from the screen displayed when no projects are open, they look almost identical, so it took a while to notice. So yeah, fixed

Very nice find! Did you solve it without downgrading to IntelliJ 13 or is downgrading necessary to fix this problem?

You've got a funny definition of "obvious" I must say

Interesting...though I don't know enough about gradle's syntax to really know what that code addition does

I was looking around the run configurations and it looked like it might be possible to write a short script that copies resources over, and have it run that script after make. Didn't look further into that though, since I have no problems with version 13.

As for my definition of obvious...from experience, I've had different software versions cause strange behavior like this many times before, so it's left me feeling like I should have thought of it earlier lol
