gradle custom war task webAppDirName
Solution 1
There is just one webAppDirName
property per project, and the War plugin automatically adds a corresponding from
to each War
task. So the main problem is how to undo that from
. I think the following should work:
apply plugin: "war"
webAppDirName = "non/existing/dir"
task myWarTask(type: War) {
from "src/anotherfolder/webapp"
...
}
An alternative is to only use the War
task type, but not the War plugin. You'll have to configure a few more task properties then, and will lose a few features, mostly related to provided configurations and publishing of the War. Of course you can make up for this with explicit configuration (if necessary). If you are interested in the details, have a look at the source code for the War plugin.
PS: webAppDirName
is not an extra property (ext.
), but a convention property added by the War
plugin. Extra properties are only meant for ad-hoc use in build scripts. You'd use ext.
when writing an extra property, but omit it when reading the property.
Solution 2
task myWarTask(type: War) {
from 'src/anotherfolder/webapp'
version ""
destinationDir = file("$buildDir/libs")
baseName = 'myWarName'
classpath = configurations.myWarConfiguration
}

I have a few gradle war tasks in my build file, and I would like to change the
webAppDirName
per war task. I tried this:task myWarTask(type: War) { ext.webAppDirName = 'src/anotherfolder/webapp' // also tried just webAppDirName version "" destinationDir = file("$buildDir/libs") baseName = 'myWarName' classpath = configurations.myWarConfiguration }
But this is still pulling in the contents of
src/main/webapp
instead ofsrc/anotherfolder/webapp
Can I configure the
webAppDirName
on a per war file basis like this? -
