[Lift] A Lift/sbt prototype

[David Pollak]

Folks,

If you'd like to get started with Lift and sbt (rather than Lift and Maven), you can git clone git://github.com/dpp/lift_sbt_prototype.git and be on your way.

You can also fork http://github.com/dpp/lift_sbt_prototype and munge away from there.

Thanks,

David

Me: mvn archetype:generate bibble bobble gobbledy gook... for a new project

You, 1 minute later: this mail message

Me, 30 minutes after clone, plus some playing around with sbt for the first time:  :-D

I tweaked mine to use 2.0-scala280-SNAPSHOT, and all is joyful.

Sorry for the dumb question, but what is all that goodness about sbt ?

It works without much nonsense, apparently. Configuration of a project is pretty basic (compared to Maven, ant, anyway):

import sbt._

class LiftProject(info: ProjectInfo) extends DefaultWebProject(info) {
val databinder = "Databinder Repository" at "http://databinder.net/repo/"
val mavenLocal = "Local Maven Repository" at "file://"+Path.userHome+"/.m2/repository"
val scalatools_snapshot = "Scala Tools Snapshot" at "http://scala-tools.org/repo-snapshots/"
val scalatools_release = "Scala Tools Snapshot" at "http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/"

val liftVersion = "2.0-scala280-SNAPSHOT"

override def libraryDependencies = Set(
"net.liftweb" % "lift-webkit" % liftVersion % "compile->default",
"org.squeryl" % "squeryl_2.8.0.Beta1-RC8" % "0.9.3" % "compile->default",
"org.mortbay.jetty" % "jetty" % "6.1.22" % "test->default",
"com.h2database" % "h2" % "1.2.121"
) ++ super.libraryDependencies
}

It has a console which has a variety of nice things:

~ compile watch the source tree and recompile each time it changes. Great for incremental changes until you're ready to test in the browser, then
jetty-start starts jetty with your webapp, and brings you back to sbt console. runs jetty in the background
jetty-stop obvious
reload reload your project definition if you change it
update pull down new dependencies. you can run this when you want rather than having to do it every time like maven
console pop a scala REPL for your project
clean obvious
compile obvious

It's pretty quick as well.

you left out: prepare-webapp which redeploys your app so you won't
have to restart the container :)

The only thing that annoys me about SBT is that if im doing changes to
the HTML, I have to restart jetty everytime in order to see the
change. The Jetty webroot is set to target/classes rather than the
source path.

Any one know if its possible to change?

Cheers, Tim

Did you ask on the SBT mailing list? Did you open a bug?

If not, this is the time to do so, because SBT is "only" a zero release and such breaking changes will possible be easier now than when it is >= 1.0

Umm not sure I have - really must get around to that! It seems like the kind of thing that should be configurable via def overrides

Do yourself and a lot of others a favor and ask this on the SBT mailing list, please!

You can force jetty to use the source webapp directory to serve content by adding the following to your project file.

  override def jettyWebappPath  = webappPath

If you are using JRebel,  it's also recommend that you add the following line to prevent unnecessary redeploys  

  override def scanDirectories = Nil

- sean.

What great SBT foo!

Cheers Sean!

[Peter Robinett]

Seconded. Perhaps someone would like to add such tips to our sbt wiki
page? https://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/liftweb/Using_SBT =)
