Skip publish for whitelisted files
There are files in a repository, like docs, that should not affect the compilation of the project and therefore publish a new artifact (the artifact will be the same as the one previously released).
I would like sbt-release-early to allow me to define the whitelisted files in my build in the following way:
releaseEarlyWhitelistedFiles in Global := List("README.md", "CONTRIBUTING.md", ...)
When I commit this setting implementation, the releaseEarly would not trigger the publish task if only those files have been modified. If there's a change in any other file, it will publish an artifact as expected.
The implementation of this feature cannot assume that the previous commit has been released, and therefore we need to get the modified files since the last published commit (contrary to the last commit, i.e. HEAD~1).
Could we automatically derive the whitelist as files that are not in any sources in the sbt build?
Yes, we could, good point. We should also detect changes in:
- Sbt files.
- Managed sources.
- Managed libraries (things in
/lib). - Resources.
I think I'm not missing anything, but haven't devoted it too much thinking.
By the way, for some of the files, you can already do this with Drone by adding [CI SKIP] or [SKIP CI] to the first line of the commit message. The case that is not supported is when you want to modify a file that changes the behaviour of tests but has no relevance to the final published binaries.
I'm adding this for an spree. Hope this will get solved in Lambda World at the end of October.
We call them sprees because that's the official name https://github.com/scalacenter/sprees. But we can add another label for the awesome Hacktoberfest! :smile:
Cool! I didn't know about scalacenter/sprees (I thought it's just another word for "hackaton").
👕 More free t-shirts to the god of t-shirts! 😆
Yeah, and hope we see each other in a spree soon so that I can you your well-deseved t-shirt! We usually organize them in popular Scala conferences. Next up is Lambda World, in Cadiz, at the end of the month.
Haha 😅 that's a fortunate coincidence! I'm coming to Lambda World (I live in Granada, so it's relatively close).
Well, that's awesome :smile:! We'll go for a beer. You can also join us at the spree, we're looking for maintainers that would propose tickets in their projects. Your sbt plugins would be a great fit for the spree if you have low-hanging fruits like this one :tada:.
Cool! 🍻

Sounds great 👍 I will think about it and add something to scalacenter/sprees.
