Reading from outside project

[aldrinleal]

Silly question: How could I read, say, from $HOME/.sbt/0.13/credentials.properties? In my case, I want to check in, but not persist AWS Variables

If possible, just update the README.md with an example

Thanks

sorry, at the moment this is not supported by this plugin, but you can use the extraProps key for now:

you can read a property file and then assign the values from that property file to the extraProps settings. something like this:

def readPropsAsMap(path: java.io.File) = {
  import scala.collection.JavaConverters._ 
  val props = new Properties
  IO.load(props, path)
  props.asScala
}

and then assign to extraProps:

extraProps := readPropsAsMap(new java.io.File("~/bla.props")).toSeq

hope this helps
