any way to force rebuilding of plugins?

[James Strachan]

I'm experimenting hacking up an sbt plugin (to render nice HTML output
for test results with hyperlinks in the stack traces which when
clicked should open the file at that line in your IDE as per this
thread... http://groups.google.com/group/simple-build-tool/msg/3d5feb82569840e0

So I'm building the sbt plugin, then trying to use it in another
project. I'm finding that to refresh the plugin whenever I've done a
'publish-local' in the plugin build, I've gotta manually delete all
the directories in project/plugins/* in the project I want to use the
plugin in - otherwise it doesn't bother to detect its changed or
rebuild the source code.

I wondered if there was a cunning feature in sbt to force the rebuild
of plugins when they've changed (tried all the clean-* goals and doing
"update" and "reload" to no avail). I guess I should hack a new action
- but just wondered if I was missing something first..

I didn't find a way so I wrote my own task
lazy val cleanPlugins = task {
    Console.println(info.pluginsPath)
    val paths = info.pluginsPath / "target" ::
      info.pluginsPath / "src_managed" ::
      info.pluginsPath / "lib_managed" ::
      info.pluginsPath / "project" :: Nil
    FileUtilities.clean(paths, true, log)
    None
  }
Put this in your project file and then call it via cleanPlugins in sbt console.

This should probably go on Project or something. Agree?

Yes you need to put it in your Project

Many thanks!

We should add this into the sbt Project class or one if its base
classes or traits shouldn't we?

I meant sbt.Project itself, as James suggests.

Oh I see then I'm +1 for it as the only reason why I created that task is because I didn't find a way to do it with provided tools.
