Ant is our friend. I don't see fundamental issues with using it. But
Gradle's copy has important advantages depending on your use case.
- It can accept Gradle's file system abstractions:
copy {
from configurations.runtime
}
- I really like the nested way of doing things and the syntax.
- You can copy subsets from archive and the archives will be never be
temporarily unpacked but only streamed.
- You can set file permissions (depending on the context)
- It is an common pattern used for copying into the file system as
well as filling an archive (in 0.9).
- We will listen to our user's and add the missing bits soon ;)
What is not working for me is replacing tokens in target folder
without
copying. "Copy" seems simply skipping task when source and target is
the
same.
Could you file a Jira?

If Gradle could do that it will give performance and simpler scripts.

But (again without having tried this myself) perhaps this is
sufficient:
Properties props = new Props()
props.load(...)
copy {
from 'path_to_file_to_be_filtered'
into ...
filter(ReplaceTokens, tokens: props)
}
I'm not clear why Hans had a props.each surrounding the filter in his
example.

Hi Jason,
I don't know if it's the Gradle way, but in one of my projects'
build.gradle I have the following:
processResources {
filter(org.apache.tools.ant.filters.ReplaceTokens, tokens:
[version: project.version])
}
This replaces @version@ in a property file, so that it can be
read
from the code.
The processResources task is of type Copy.
See
Javadoc:
http://gradle.org/0.8/docs/javadoc/index.html?org/gradle/api/tasks/Copy.html
What you could do in your case:
Properties props = new Props()
props.load(...)
copy {
from 'path_to_file_to_be_filtered'
into ...
props.each { key, value ->
filter(ReplaceTokens, tokens: props) // It depends on you
set up
if this is exactly what you want.
}
}

I haven't tried this, but I think the ReplaceTokens filter can
read from
a
properties file all by itself so you can do:
copy {
from 'path_to_file_to_be_filtered'
into ...
filter(ReplaceTokens, propertiesfile: 'mysettings.properties')
}

Levi

That would work fine, but I don't want to list the tokens and
their
values in the build file. I'd rather have them pulled from a
properties file (so it can change from box / environment).
Think stuff
like user names and passwords, external locations, etc.
