Do i have to specify new configuration in project definition?

[Udayakumar Rayala]

In my current sbt build definition file, I defined a new configuration and added the settings of this configuration to Project settings:

  lazy val FunctionalTests = config("functional") extend(Shared)

  lazy val functionalTestSettings = configure(FunctionalTests, "functional")

  lazy val buildSettings = allOtherSettings ++ functionalTestSettings

And then added the new configuration to the Project definition as below:

  lazy val core = Project("core", file("."))

    .configs(UnitTests)

    .configs(IntegrationTests)

    .configs(FunctionalTests) // Is this required?

    .settings(buildSettings : _*)

All of this works even if skipped specifying the configuration in the Project definition. Is it necessary to specify the configuration in the Project definition? If not, how is the above definition useful?

Thanks,

Uday.

A configuration needs to be provided to the Project definition if you want delegation. For example, this definition:

lazy val FunctionalTests = config("functional") extend(Shared)

means that `functional` will delegate to `shared` for any settings that don't exist. If you don't want or need that, then no, you don't need to add the configuration to Project.

Hi Mark,

The following statement says that functional will delegate to shared for non existant settings.

  lazy val FunctionalTests = config("functional") extend(Shared)

Why do i still have to do this?

 lazy val core = Project("core", file("."))

    .configs(UnitTests)

    .configs(IntegrationTests)

    .configs(FunctionalTests) // Is this required?

    .settings(buildSettings : _*)

What will I see different if I miss the above statement?

Thanks,

Uday.

It only means that if it is registered with the Project as below. This information has to be provided to sbt ahead of it being used in settings.
