how to avoid gradle processResources from messing with my files

[rburgst]

Due to 2.12 now all resource files containing $ will be prone to being filtered. I have a bunch of css / javascript files that I package within my app which causes the build to fail.
Is there a "safe place" in the dir structure where resources will be copied 1:1 without filtering?

no reply?

You have some choices:

• override the default settings applied by the griffon-gradle-plugin so that resources are filtered in a different way.
• escape all $ chars that should not be transformed into variables
• configure a separate resource processing task whose inputs are_not marked as resources in the sourceSet

Where can I find the doc on how to change the plugin config settings?

Documentation on the Griffon plugin can be found at http://griffon-framework.org/guide/2.15.0/#_the_griffon_plugin

For options 1) and 3) you'll have to configure the existing processResources task or create a new task of type ProcessResources or Copy. Refer to the Gradle documentation about these types

I managed to get it to work with option 2, i.e. I escaped all $ => \$. I tried a bunch of approaches with messing with the Gradle build config but IMHO the code in https://github.com/griffon/griffon/blob/development/subprojects/gradle-griffon-plugin/src/main/groovy/org/codehaus/griffon/gradle/GriffonPlugin.groovy#L91 will pretty much prevent me from reconfiguring the task.
