Unable to publish RPM for a Play 2.4 app

[umatrangolo]

Hi,

I was trying to publish an RPM for my Play 2.4 app with no success. It is a toy app to play with Play and Native Packager but I'm not able to publish its RPM :/

This is the build.sbt:

import gilt.sbt.resolvers.GiltRepos

name := """play-greeter"""
version := "0.0.1"
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayScala, RpmPlugin)
scalaVersion := "2.11.6"

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  jdbc,
  cache,
  ws,
  specs2 % Test
)

// publish configuration for Nexus                                                     
publishTo := Some(GiltRepos.Resolvers.head)
credentials += Credentials(Path.userHome / ".ivy2" / ".credentials")
publishMavenStyle := false

resolvers += "scalaz-bintray" at "http://dl.bintray.com/scalaz/releases"

// Play provides two styles of routers, one expects its actions to be injected, the     
// other, legacy style, accesses its actions statically.                                                                                                                  
routesGenerator := InjectedRoutesGenerator

// RPM generation                                                                       
maintainer in Linux := "Ugo Matrangolo <[email protected]>"
packageSummary in Linux := "Greeter Service Installation"
packageDescription := "Simple service to greet someone the morning"
rpmRelease := "1"
rpmVendor := "Ugo Matrangolo"
rpmUrl := Some("http://umatrangolo.com")
rpmLicense := Some("Apache v2")
rpmGroup := Some("TEST")
rpmBrpJavaRepackJars := true

And the following is the output of the 'sbt rpm:publish' task:

All the usual Jars got published correctly but no trace of the RPM. Running 'sbt rpm:packageBin' works perfectly.

What am I missing ?? :)

Please try adding the UniversalDeployPlugin AutoPlugin, see http://www.scala-sbt.org/sbt-native-packager/topics/deployment.html#default-configuration

Alternatively, you can use makeDeploymentSettings(Rpm, packageBin in Rpm, "rpm") as described further down on that page.

Does this work for you?

Amended with:

lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayScala, RpmPlugin, UniversalDeployPlugin)

with no result.

The following worked though:

lazy val root = (project in file(".")).settings(makeDeploymentSettings(Rpm, packageBin in Rpm, "rpm")).enablePlugins(PlayScala, RpmPlugin)

So, I think the documentation here is a bit lacking: the above is not stated as mandatory and it looks like it is something that you use only in particular circumstances (the par is called 'Custom Configuration').

The 'Default configuration' part is not working at all (at least for a Play proj).

Thank you :)

@umatrangolo The reason the first solution doesn't work is, that then UniversalDeployPlugin is enabled, but you are actually build an rpm. You have to use the RpmDepolyPlugin.

lazy val root = (project in file("."))
   .enablePlugins(PlayScala, RpmPlugin, RpmDeployPlugin)

When you take a look at the second code snippet your are enabling the deployment settings for the Rpm scope.

Could you open a PR fixing this in the docs?
