android - How to exclude kotlin files from compiling with gradle

Question

With Java, we are excluding like this:

java {
    srcDir 'src'
    exclude '**/myTests/**'
}

I want to make the same thing with kotlin. Trying to find some docs on this in official documentation configuring kotlin with no success. What i've expected and already tried (and of course with no success):

kotlin {
    srcDir 'src'
    exclude '**/myTests/*.kt'
}

Answer 1

java {
    srcDir 'src'
    exclude '**/myTests/*.kt'
}

There is no Kotlin related configuration.

Why I am saying this, I have all the kotlin files into kotlin directory and java files into java directory. But while configuring, I have put

sourceSets {
   main.java.srcDirs += "src/main/kotlin"
}

this means that with src/main/java add source files from src/main/kotlin also while compiling.

This should solve your issue.
