Maven, dev mode and resources

[lecogiteur]

Hi,

I have a directory X in my test resources. When I launch quarkus dev I would want this directory is added to classpath.

I try this:

<profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>dev</id>
            <build>
                <resources>
                    <resource>
                        <directory>src/test/resources/X</directory>
                    </resource>
                </resources>
            </build>
        </profile>
    </profiles>

But it doesn't work.
I don't want this directory when I build the prod release. Only in dev mode.

How to do that?

Not sure it's possible but @aloubyansky will know for sure.

Have you tried configuring removed-resources as a dev profile property?

[lecogiteur]

No on prod profile.

I do this

quarkus.class-loading.removed-resources."my-group-project\:my-artefact"=db/changlog-dev

Where my-group-project et my-artefact is the current project and the directory db/changelog-dev is in src/main/resources

[aloubyansky]

Right, my previous comment didn't make sense, need to wake up.
I guess what might work is if you create a Maven profile that's activeByDefault and set the remove-resources property in it. And then you keep your dev Maven profile to launch the app in dev mode, in this case the activeByDefault profile should be deactivated.

[lecogiteur]

Yes. The profile Maven work well. But it's could be a excellent enhancement to simply add or remove resources with quarkus profile.

Actually, the following works

        <profile>
            <id>dev</id>
            <activation>
                <property>
                    <name>dev</name>
                </property>
            </activation>
            <build>
                <defaultGoal>compile quarkus:dev</defaultGoal>
                <resources>
                    <resource>
                        <directory>src/dev/resources</directory>
                    </resource>
                    <resource>
                        <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
                    </resource>
                </resources>
            </build>
        </profile>

Adding src/dev/resources/META-INF/resources/dev.html and launching the app with mvn -Pdev, I can access localhost:8080/dev.html and live coding in it works.

[aloubyansky]

The reason I thought it wouldn't work was that we initialize module source and resources paths from a "raw" POM model w/o interpolating active profiles but when we bootstrap for dev mode, the raw model isn't exactly raw, we use interpolated <build> part of it, so it works.
