Getting HTML template resources

[Dustin Luck]

I updated my overlay template to the latest 6.3.6 and I'm having trouble getting HTML templates using the instructions in the README.md file (./gradlew[.bat] listTemplateViews). When I run the command, I get a 'BUILD SUCCESSFUL' message, but no templates are listed. Trying the getResource command (./gradlew getResource -PresourceName=casLoginView.html), I receive a message that "No resources could be found matching casLoginView.html".

Any help on how to extract the HTML templates would be appreciated.

Here is the full output from both commands

listTemplateViews

> Task :generateLombokConfig UP-TO-DATE

I find explodeWar quite useful as a task - it will create a cas-resources folder in your build directory with all the files in so you can get the correct layout..

Thanks, Chris. That was enough of a clue to get me to where I needed to be.

Here's what I found for others having the same problem:

In 3.6.3, the 'explodeWar' task has been renamed to 'unzip'. The 'explodeWarOnly' task has been renamed to 'unzipWar'.

The 'listTemplateViews' & 'getResource' tasks used to depend on 'explodeWar', but in 3.6.3, that was changed to 'unZipWar'. I changed both of them to depend on 'unzip' and now both tasks work fine.
