is there anything in place to create an archive of the static resources and final js for deploying a webapp?

[jw]

Right now I'm doing

distributions {
  main {
    contents {
      from("src/main/resources")
      from("$buildDir/distributions/webapp.js")
      into("/")
    }
  }
}
tasks.named("distZip").configure {
  dependsOn(tasks.getByName("browserWebpack"))
}

but would love for something like this to be automatic

I've been doing something similar to that as well, afaik nothing exists.

Seems unfortunate given that tasks like run already need to know where everything is. I guess I'll just file a bug and try to make that argument.

Hi!
Do you use resources as assets? You need hust copy from resources to final distribution folder?

@Jake This is exactly how we are fixed this in 1.3.70: distribution folder will contain the same things that run task is used. Hopefully, the first eap will be in this year.

Hi @snrostov, is there a way to disable this? Because I'm using a custom webpack configuration which is spitting out filenames with hash in them and in a different folder structure.

Now I've duplicates in the distributions folder. (Not a major issue, since they are in a separate folder)

(I'm on kotlin 1.4 and using the latest plugins).

@Gurupad Mamadapur [FH] you can disable task browserDistributeResources and resources will not copy to distributions folder
