Docs: dependsOn to files about gradle-docker

[uschi2000]

Hej. We removed some of the hidden/magical configuration with the goal of making the docker build context easier to understand. The contract is: the plugin copies the declared docker.dockerfile as well as all files declared via the docker.files copyspec:

            prepare.with {
                with ext.copySpec
                from(ext.resolvedDockerfile) {
                    rename { fileName ->
                        fileName.replace(ext.resolvedDockerfile.getName(), 'Dockerfile')
                    }
                }
                into dockerDir
            }

So what you're doing looks good. I don't quite follow what you mean by My config now looks like below, with everything below src/main/resources in the build/docker directory, ideally I'd like them in build/docker/src/main/resources/ ..., can you elaborate?

Hi Robert thanks for coming back so quickly.

This was my previous directory structure

build/docker/src/main/resources/someresources

Now its

build/docker/someresources

Ideally I'd like a way to maintain the 'src/main/resources' part of what gets copied across.

I wasn't sure if there was tasks.xxx.xxx option that could be used for src/main/resources or some other gradle mechanism.

Apologies I'm not a gradle expert.

I see you can get access to the underlying copyspec via docker.copySpec and do something like this (untested, syntax is probably a bit broken, but you get the idea):

docker {
    name "app:${project.version}"
    files tasks.jar.outputs, tasks.bootRepackage.outputs
}
docker.copySpec
  .from('src/main/resources')
  .into('src/main/resources')

see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/working_with_files.html

Closing for now, let me know if that doesn't work.
