I am switching from maven to sbt for a Scala project I am working on. I used to work with the maven assembly plugin where you can map any directory in the workspace to a target directory in the assembly. I didn't find any equivalent in sbt-native-package, it worth provide this feature for the Universe kind.
I understood that everything that is present in the universal subdirectory is copied to the package as such, and it works like a charm, but I lack something like the following snippet.
mappings in Universal += {
directory("my/local/dir") -> "static/dirInPackage"
}
I would like to know if there is already a way to do that, in such case, I would be happy to know how to do it, and I propose my help to commit documentation for that part if you want.
If there is no way to do this kind of customization, I will be happy to propose a patch for that after having discussed specifications.
By the way, great job, your packager is working very well, thanks !
After having discussed with the sbt-native-manager team and a first "rejected" pull request, here is the way to do this directory mapping in the build.sbt file (see pull request https://github.com/sbt/sbt-native-packager/pull/160 which provides mode detailed documentation) :
mappings in Universal <++= (packageBin in Compile, target ) map { (_, target) =>
val dir = target / "scala-2.10" / "api"
(dir.***) pair relativeTo(dir.getParentFile)
}
To reduce verbosity of the above snippet, there is an issue (https://github.com/sbt/sbt-native-packager/issues/161) to propose a more human readable way to express this directory mapping:
mappings in Universal ++= allFilesRelativeTo(file(target / "scala-2.10" / "api"))
From https://github.com/sbt/sbt-native-packager
If you'd like to add additional files to the installation dir, simply add them to the universal mappings:
import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtNativePackager.Universal
mappings in Universal += {
file("my/local/conffile") -> "conf/my.conf"
}
You could use a simple map on top of the directory method result.
==> directory method documentation: MappingsHelper.directory
For example:
// Packaging the content of /src/main/resources
under conf
add the following:
mappings in Universal ++= (directory("src/main/resources").map(t => (t._1, t._2.replace("resources", "conf"))))
This one seems to be the simplest example that worked for me
Takes all files in res/scripts/
and puts it in the bin/
directory when unzipped.
// In build.sbt
mappings in Universal <++= (packageBin in Compile) map { jar =>
val scriptsDir = new java.io.File("res/scripts/")
scriptsDir.listFiles.toSeq.map { f =>
f -> ("bin/" + f.getName)
}
}
If you choose a file that's not created, it will be created for you, for example assets/
will make a new assets
folder with the files. If you want files inside of this one using this approach you'll have to make a new Seq
at least that's what I did. Here's my example
assets/
├── scripts
│ └── install_dependencies.sh
└── urbangrizzly.database
and the appropriate build.sbt
section:
mappings in Universal <++= (packageBin in Compile) map { jar =>
val assetsDir = new java.io.File("assets/")
val scriptsDir = new java.io.File("assets/scripts")
assetsDir.listFiles.toSeq.map { files =>
files -> ("assets/" + files.getName)
} ++ scriptsDir.listFiles.toSeq.map { files =>
files -> ("assets/scripts/" + files.getName)
}
}
If you need more, just keep using the ++
operator to concatenate the lists
