This could also be related to me using buildr 1.4.5 instead of 1.4.3
on the old pc. I was able to find out *what* happens, but not *why* or
how to fix it =(
Essentially on a dirty build the war task picks up a dependency on a
file instead of a dir breaking the link. I.e. I expect the war task to
depend on the gwt dir which depends on the gwt_sources file list, so
when gwt_sources are updated this triggers the rebuild, but instead
the war task suddenly starts to depend on the *contents* of gwt dir.
The contents does not depend on anything so this doesn't trigger the
rebuild =(
Please see below for a reproducible testcase:
define "proj" do
project.version = "0.0.1"
define "web" do
gwt_sources = FileList[_("src/main/java/*")]
gwt_dest = _("target/gwt")
ft = file gwt_dest => gwt_sources do |t|
puts "rebuilding gwt"
rm_rf _("target/gwt")
mkdir_p _("target/gwt")
File.open(_("target/gwt/gwt_out.txt"), 'w') {|f| f.write("some
output") }
end
puts ft.investigation
package(:war).enhance do |t|
puts t.investigation
end
package(:war).include(gwt_dest, :as =>".")
end
src/main/java contains one file SomeClass.java. Now look, what happens
when I build->modify->build:
