add installDist target

[milahu]

expected:
running gradle installDist
should copy files to $prefix/bin/ and $prefix/lib/

actual:
running gradle installDist has no effect

• build.gradle
• gradle distribution plugin

workaround: gumtree.nix

    mkdir $out
    cp -r dist/build/install/gumtree/{bin,lib} $out
    rm $out/bin/gumtree.bat

Hi @milahu and thanks for the report.

To be clear the distribution is only available in the folders dist and dist-native.

Maybe because I use a shadow jar, the way to get it working is gradle installShadowDist ?

Cheers!

gradle installShadowDist

also has no effect

[jrfaller]

in which folder do you run the command ?

[milahu]

in the repo root
at /build/source in the nix-build sandbox

see also my nur-packages

nix-build.log

error: builder for '/nix/store/w11cibpa08bs6h34fab864p5z6p8jmwm-gumtree-4.0.0-beta4.drv' failed to produce output path for output 'out' at '/nix/store/w11cibpa08bs6h34fab864p5z6p8jmwm-gumtree-4.0.0-beta4.drv.chroot/root/nix/store/jmj5yz2gf61cgwkn9wz0n8bnlqf2nh55-gumtree-4.0.0-beta4'

OK therefore should be : gradle :dist:installShadowDist. Beware this task is normally launched as a finalizer for gradle build. The resulting installation being in dist/build/install

[milahu]

ok, i already run gradle build
and to install i do cp -r dist/build/install/gumtree/{bin,lib} $out

nevermind, this is low priority stuff
