Generated Sources Root gone after every git pull in IntelliJ

One of the many modules I'm working on uses "generated-sources" for a couple auto-generated Java classes that the rest of the code depends on. Unfortunately, every single time I do a git pull it gets reset and I have to do mark the folder as "Generated Sources Root" again.

Generated Sources Root

It's not a deal breaker, but it's really annoying. Isn't there a way to automate this? I don't know, some setting in IntelliJ or perhaps even directly in the pom.xml?

maven intellij-idea git java

You can give a try to build-helper-maven-plugin and add more source directories to your project explicitly:

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.0</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>add-source</id>
            <phase>generate-sources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>add-source</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <sources>
                <source>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/...</source>
              </sources>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

Also there is a little trick - actual source generation must happens before this goal execution.

In our project IDEA works pretty well with this approach.

Try adding generated-sources folder to git ignore file. Git ignore file if not already exists can be added in intelli idea like: enter image description here

Then add generated-sources folder relative path like generated-sources/in git ignore file & commit .gitignore file. From next time any changes in that folder will not be overwritten or will be committed to server.
