Hi there,
I've just added a new zip Task to my project. This task should
create a zip with all third-party libs in the lib folder of that
zip. actually my task looks like the following:
task createBinZip(type: Zip) {
classifier = 'bin'
files(configurations.groovy)
fileSet(dir: 'build'){
include "**/*.jar"
}
fileSet(dir: 'build/classes'){
include "**/*.sh"
}
}
In the snippet above I add all files in the configuration groovy to
my zip. but how can I put all these third party libs to a special
folder in that zip for example called "libs".
You can't easily do this yet. You need to copy them somewhere and
then use a zipfileset to include them in the 'libs' folder of the
archive.
We plan to make this better in 0.7, so you could do something like:
In my opinion a clean readable zip task should only contain listings
of files / directories (FileCollection, FileSet, ZipFileSet, etc...)
which shall be included in that zip. No manual copying, renaming or
anything else should be necessary.
task createBinZip(type: Zip) {
libs {
from(configurations.groovy)
from('build') {
include '**/*.jar'
}
}
from(someDir) {
...
}
}
Your snippet works well. Thanks for that.
And can anybody explain, what's the difference between:
files(configurations.groovy) and just
configurations.groovy ?
'files(configurations.groovy)' adds the 'groovy' configuration as a
file collection to be included in the archive, and
'configurations.groovy' is simply a property reference to the
'groovy' configuration, which does nothing with it. The second
statement won't actually include the configuration in the archive.
We could probably do some DSL magic so that you can include a file
collection simply by referencing it in the archive's configure
closure, so that the 2 statements above do the same thing. I'm not
sure it's worth it - it could be just as effective, I think, to
simply choose a better name for the files() method.
In Section 15.12. of the gradle docs I've found the following
sentence: "For example, the Configuration objects of a project
implement FileCollection . You can also obtain a FileCollection
using the method Project.files()"
So instead of writing "files(configurations.groovy)" shouldn't it
be enough to write "configurations.groovy" in my zip task? What is
the meaning of "FileCollection Project.files(FileCollection fc)" ?
This would return a FileCollection which contains the same files as
the supplied collection.
regards,
René
