This plugin is smarter replacement for sbt watch feature (~ command).
Features:
- ability to watch over multiple directories
- ability to execute different tasks for different directories
Add this to project/plugins.sbt:
addSbtPlugin("me.scf37" % "sbt-overwatch" % "1.0.11")
Configure plugin and type overwatch:
> overwatch
[info] Waiting for changes on /home/scf37/dev/sbt-overwatch/test includes: **/*.js
[info] Waiting for changes on /home/scf37/dev/sbt-overwatch/test/src/main/resources includes: **/*.css
[info] Waiting for changes on /home/scf37/dev/sbt-overwatch/test includes: **/*.scala
[info] Waiting for changes... (press enter to interrupt)
Plugin configuration constists of fileset -> sbt task pairs. overwatchFilter supports
jdk globs or simple Path => Boolean closures.
overwatchConfiguration in Global := Map(
overwatchFilter(baseDirectory.value, "**/*.js") -> (task1 in overwatchTest),
overwatchFilter(baseDirectory.value / "src/main/resources", "**/*.css") -> (task2 in overwatchTest),
overwatchFilter(baseDirectory.value , "**/*.scala") -> (task3 in overwatchTest)
)
See test/build.sbt for complete example including sbt-revolver integration.
