Running a (Lift) web-application with jetty-run without the need to re-prepare webapp?

[trond...@gmail.com]

Hi.

I am trying to setup a new Lift-project using sbt 0.10, and I can't
figure out how to set up my environment so I can edit a resource
(html, js, css, whatever) and instantly reload the file in my browser.
The settings I used on 0.7.x (running with JRebel) was:

override def scanDirectories = Nil
override def jettyWebappPath = webappPath

How should I replicate this using 0.10.0?
My full build.sbt is:
###

seq(WebPlugin.webSettings :_*)

scalaVersion := "2.9.0-1"

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"net.liftweb" %% "lift-webkit" % "2.4-M1" % "compile" withSources(),
"ch.qos.logback" % "logback-classic" % "0.9.26"
)

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.scalaquery" % "scalaquery_2.9.0" % "0.9.4" withSources(),
"com.h2database" % "h2" % "1.3.155"
)

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.eclipse.jetty" % "jetty-webapp" % "7.3.0.v20110203" % "jetty",
"org.specs2" %% "specs2" % "1.4" % "test" withSources()
)
###


Thanks,
Trond Marius

Don't know if this is the best solution, but I just this morning tried the following (which seems to work using sbt+jrebel):

in my build.sbt I have 

####

jettyScanDirs := Nil

####

And when running sbt I do:

jetty-run

~ prepare-webapp

Then it seems jetty detects the changes in my static files, as well as jrebel picking up my changed .class-files. Both without the need to reload the webapp in jetty (if you remove the line from build.sbt jetty will restart the webapp on each change).

Hope this helps, and if anyone has better solutions please do tell :)

this still requires a "~ prepare-webapp" to run which is not quite the same as running jetty out of source (as mentioned in the old sbt7.5 wiki) — to get that working you need to modify the jettyConfiguration task. i've posted a blog entry at http://bit.ly/mt3Pqu, describing how to do this. have fun.

UPD: I succeeded with next lines in build.sbt:

temporaryWarPath <<= (sourceDirectory in Runtime) / "webapp"

jettyScanDirs := Nil
