Tell Gradle to check two directories for main java source code

Question

I have a project full of tests that we use to query our environments. We run these tests using Gradle. I would like to run these tests from a standalone application to get rid of the Gradle dependency. I am using the gradle 'application' plugin and trying to run the JUnit tests using JUnitCore and everything is fine except I can't access my test classes from main.

I have

--main
--smokeTest
--longRunningTest

When I tell Gradle this it doesn't work.

sourceSets {
 main {
    java { srcDirs ['src/main/java', 'src/smokeTest/java'] }
    }
}

It says "main" is not a recognized function. The java plugin is installed because I already have entries to define smokeTest and longRunningTest.

Have you tried just leaving off the `main` declaration and seeing where that'll get you? — Makoto, Apr 21 '15 at 21:46
Where is this statement located? top level? or inside another statement? — Al Jacinto, Apr 21 '15 at 23:23

Not to steal the flame from @david-m-karr, just refining a bit:

sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java', 'src/smokeTest/java']

might work

Writing a proper answer is preferred in this case, so upvoting this - it's also much clearer to read an example given in an answer than in a comment. – Per Lundberg Nov 20 '18 at 07:13
