project asset jar not copied to stage/distribution in a multi-module project

[gokhanoner]

Plugin version 0.6

After running gradle stage/dist, I can see that 2 jar files created under build/libs folder, one for jar/scala classes, and one for assets, the public folder. These files are generally web assets, like js/html files. I can see that module jar/asssets files are copied but for main project, only project.jar file present in the build/stage/main/lib, folder, not project-assets.jar. This causes app start but without ant static Web files. When manually copying assets.jar, app works as expected.

Same problem here, I have all the submodules assets jar in the zip but for the main project the assets jar is missing...

I had the same problem. The way I solved it was to set the version before applying the play plugin.

The reason could be as following:

1. The asset jar to be copied was specified at the moment of the plugin application. The jar name is project-assets.jar
2. After plugin application is done, a version number is specified, the actual jar created by the task create createPlayAssetsJar then has different name: project-assets-version.jar

This causes the CopySpec to fail because it tried to copy a non-existent file.
