using ArchiveTask#include with patterns is too tricky
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: BUILDR-331
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-331
Project: Buildr
Issue Type: Wish
Affects Versions: 1.3.5
Reporter: Ittay Dror
We have a case in our buildfile where the code below doesn't work with a clean
build:
package(:war).include(path_to(resource.target , :web, '*.swf')))
the reason is that the pattern is evaluated before the resources task had a
chance to run.
it is evaluated because the @include instance variable in ArchiveTask#Path is a
FileList which is very sensitive and resolves all its patterns whenever a
method from the Array class is called on it.
so somewhere in our, or buildr's code, the FileList instance is resolved, and
it is tricky to find where and probably to fix. as well as being unexpected
suggestion: @includes should be a regular array. when invoked (in the action
block), the task should use filelis...@includes] to expand all patterns. this
will ensure that patterns are evaluated lazily
