While evaluating Gradle I've run into a dead end with the usage of
the war
plugin. The "usePlugin('war')" directive is in the file
./csl/wars/build.gradle but the war file source is actually in
./csl/wars/mywarproject and dependencies are defined in
./csl/wars/mywarproject/build.gradle
Two things stump me with the war file:
1) Files not within the war file ./WEB-INF directory are not
included in the
war file. Typically our wars contain other content in the archive root
folder (i.e. jsps, images, etc.). The problem is the war file
gernerated out
of gradle just contains the WEB-INF content.
To understand: You have everything in src/webapp but only src/webapp/
WEB-INF is included? That would be obviously bug. I gonna check this
myself today and would provide a fix ASAP.
I was trying to figure out how
to append filesets to the war object within the build.gradle script
but
couldn't manage.
The snippet:
subprojects {
usePlugin('war')
dists {
war() {
fileSet(dir: 'src/public_html') {
excludes('WEB-INF')
includes('**/*')
}
}
}
}
results in the error message:
Exception: org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException:
org.gradle.api.InvalidUserDataException: A task with this name already
exists!
The documentation mentions examples such as
"myZipTask.files('path_to_file1', 'path_to_file2')" but fails to
mention how
to get a reference to myZipTask.
How do I access the 'war' task at runtime so that I can manipulate the
archive content?
usually:
mywarproject_war {
// configure
}
If you don't want the project name as a default name for your archive
task you can set the project property: archivesBaseName (which
defaults to the project name)
The basename of the task is also the default name of the actual
archive file. You can always change the name of the archive file with:
mywarproject_war {
baseName = 'othername'
}
2) The war build.gradle file contains the dependency "compile
project(':csl:jars:myjarproject')" which is automatically added to
the war
lib directory. While this is sometimes desired we don't want to
blow up our
distribution so we put the project jars in the shared classpath.
How do I
prevent gradle from added "dependency" jars to the war lib folder?
Nice and important use case ;).
Ivy can of course handle such a situation. Our DSL on top of Ivy has
more constraints and is waiting for use cases to become more
powerful ;). I gonna provide an improvement for this during the
course of this day and let you know.
I have commented your attached build script. See below.
