How do I make sbt include non-Java sources to published artifact? - scala

Question

How do I make sbt include non-Java sources to published artifact ?
I'm using Kotlin plugin and can't figure out how to force sbt to include .kt file into published source jar. It only includes .java files.
A lot of people online suggest adding following code to sbt script but it doesn't help
mappings in (Compile, packageSrc) ++= {
val base = (sourceManaged in Compile).value
val files = (managedSources in Compile).value
files.map { f => (f, f.relativeTo(base).get.getPath) }
},
I also tried
includeFilter in (Compile, packageSrc) := "*.scala" || "*.java" || "*.kt",
Here is output of some variables in sbt console
sbt:collections> show unmanagedSourceDirectories
[info] * /home/expert/work/sideprojects/unoexperto/extensions-collections/src/main/scala
[info] * /home/expert/work/sideprojects/unoexperto/extensions-collections/src/main/java
[info] * /home/expert/work/sideprojects/unoexperto/extensions-collections/src/main/kotlin
sbt:collections> show unmanagedSources
[info] * /home/expert/work/sideprojects/unoexperto/extensions-collections/src/main/java/com/walkmind/extensions/collections/TestSomething.java

Answer 1

which plugin you use for kotlin?
https://github.com/pfn/kotlin-plugin has the option kotlinSource to configure where the source directory is located.
sbt packageBin compiled kotlin files and include them to output jar.
build.sbt
// define kotlin source directory
kotlinSource in Compile := baseDirectory.value / "src/main/kotlin",
src/main/kotlin/org.test
package org.test
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
println("Hello World!")
}
console
sbt compile
sbt packageBin
target/scala-2.13
jar include MainKt.class
and folder org/test contains MainKt.class too.
would this solve your problem?

I found a workaround for this in my project https://github.com/makiftutuncu/e. I made following: https://github.com/makiftutuncu/e/blob/master/project/Settings.scala#L105
Basically, I added following setting in SBT to properly generate sources artifact:
// Include Kotlin files in sources
packageConfiguration in Compile := {
val old = (packageConfiguration in Compile in packageSrc).value
val newSources = (sourceDirectories in Compile).value.flatMap(_ ** "*.kt" get)
new Package.Configuration(
old.sources ++ newSources.map(f => f -> f.getName),
old.jar,
old.options
)
}
For the documentation artifact, I added Gradle build to my Kotlin module. I set it up as shown here https://github.com/makiftutuncu/e/blob/master/e-kotlin/build.gradle.kts. This way, I make Gradle build generate the Dokka documentation. And finally, added following setting in SBT to run Gradle while building docs:
// Delegate doc generation to Gradle and Dokka
doc in Compile := {
import sys.process._
Process(Seq("./gradlew", "dokkaJavadoc"), baseDirectory.value).!
target.value / "api"
}
I admit, this is a lot of work just to get 2 artifacts but it did the trick for me. 🤷🏻 Hope this helps.
