Java

No 'src' folder in Gradle Project. How to fix this?

From the 'Dependency Management with Gradle' workshop. There's supposed to be a 'src' folder created when you make a Gradle project in Intellij IDEA but the only folders I see are '.gradle', '.idea', and 'gradle'. I have already built the project. Is there any way I can fix this without attempting to create a new project?

you can just make it yourself. Just right click on the root directory and choose new>directory the you name it src. The IntelliJ IDEA will recognize it thus when for instance you create main directory inside that newly created src folder IntelliJ will also recognize it as folder where you will put your Java package inside.

After creating a new project, you can create the empty src folder by going to Preferences --> Build, Execution, Deployment category --> Build Tools --> select gradle and you will get the option 'create directories for empty content root automatically'. check it and it's done.
