Feature request - append for mlBundle

[DavidEnnis-CleverLlamas]

Referring to this document:

https://github.com/marklogic/ml-gradle/wiki/Bundles

The items are always pre-pended to the configurations - making them get executed first. However, there may be times in which one would want to use a bundle to change a default behavior. Example: replace an xQuery module to change how something was implemented.

It would be nice if, via configuration, the choice could be made between prepend and append

I haven't tried this yet, but I think for modules, this would work:

mlModulePaths=src/main/ml-modules,build/mlBundle/marklogic-unit-test-modules/ml-modules

At runtime, ml-gradle will then modify this to toss build/mlBundle/marklogic-unit-test-modules/ml-modules at the start of mlModulePaths. It'll be slightly inefficient then - the modules will get loaded twice - but the modules in the bundle would then have the opportunity to overwrite your own app modules.

Good point - just force it to append again. This would make sense for modules. However, I'd be curious about the overhead of ml-config.

Will play around with this soon. Trying to see how far I can take using a bundle for various combined-code and config requirements

It should work for ml-config as well - ml-gradle will merge the resource files together, with the last directory in the list "winning" and overwriting any keys already present in the merged JSON object.

Hi ROb. Yes this is all working fine from what I can see.

Closing as I believe this request was addressed, but please reopen if that is not the case.
