Re: Copying static files / compile output among projects.

[edmondo1984]

I have progressed and the problem which I am facing is how to copy settings among project.

Something like the following:

project1.settings(playExternalAssets += project2.playAssetsDirectory)

project1.settings(resolvers = global.resolvers)

What is the right way of doing it?

Dear all,

I am using Play! 2.0 with and I have a question about the build system.  I have an aggregate of multiple projects, and I have a shared module which contains static files and some .less files which gets compiled into a css.

How can I copy the static files as well as the output of the compiled stylesheets into other projects?  I tried to understand by myself but it appears that, while I can apply easily to a project a setting, I can't retrieve from another project that setting. 

 I have looked into the Play! 2.0 keys 

val playAssetsDirectories = SettingKey[Seq[File]]("play-assets-directories")

val incrementalAssetsCompilation = SettingKey[Boolean]("play-incremental-assets-compilation")

val playExternalAssets = SettingKey[Seq[(File, File => PathFinder, String)]]("play-external-assets")

But I have no idea on how to use this information to modify my build file.

object ApplicationBuild extends Build {

    val appName         = "Website"

    val appVersion      = "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

    val appDependencies = Seq(

      // Add your project dependencies here,

    )

val common = PlayProject(

appName + "-common", appVersion, path = file("modules/common"),mainLang=SCALA,

    lessEntryPoints <<= baseDirectory(_ / "app" / "assets" / "stylesheets" ** "bootstrap.less")

)

  

val website = PlayProject(

appName + "-website", appVersion, path = file("modules/website"),mainLang=SCALA,

).dependsOn(common)

  

val adminArea = PlayProject(

appName + "-admin", appVersion, path = file("modules/admin"),mainLang=SCALA,

).dependsOn(common)

  

val main = PlayProject(

appName, appVersion,appDependencies,mainLang=SCALA

).dependsOn(

website, adminArea

)

Thank you
