An SBT plugin to create then publish .tgz artifacts

The library has supported sbt 1.x since version 2.0.0 and has dropped support for sbt 0.13 since 2.2.0

In your project/plugins.sbt file:

resolvers += MavenRepository("HMRC-open-artefacts-maven2", "https://open.artefacts.tax.service.gov.uk/maven2")
resolvers += Resolver.url("HMRC-open-artefacts-ivy2", url("https://open.artefacts.tax.service.gov.uk/ivy2"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)

addSbtPlugin("uk.gov.hmrc" % "sbt-distributables" % "x.x.x")

where 'x.x.x' is the latest release as advertised above.

In your build.sbt

1. Add the line .enablePlugins(SbtDistributablesPlugin) to enable artifact creation

Optional settings:

1. Add the line .settings(extraFiles := Seq(new File("<PATH-TO-FILE>"))) to add extra files to the archive (path must be relative)

When enabled sbt-distributables automatically creates and publishes a .tgz artifact. For an artifact tester with version 1.0.0 this would result in the following:

tester-1.0.0.tgz
  .
    tester-1.0.0
      bin
      conf
      lib
      share
      README.md
    Procfile
    start-docker.sh

• Compatible with scala-parser-combinators:2.0.0
