generateSources cannot find JavacTool

See original GitHub issue

When I have ....generateSources(JavaFileObjects.forSourceString("HelloWorld", "public class HelloWorld { }\n")); I get an error (see below), this is true even if I use forResource(String) for a file I used in the source list to ASSERT.about(javaSources()).that(...). Everything else works, it seems to be some sort of configuration issue.

ERROR!

Or this:

testCompile files(org.gradle.internal.jvm.Jvm.current().getToolsJar())

I don’t think Gradle will honor the profiles from the compile-testing POM, so it won’t add the tools.jar to the classpath. You should be able to add it using something like:

testCompile org.gradle.internal.Jvm.current().getToolsJar()
