Ability to add file to a specific directory

[saturnism]

Description of the issue:
Some web apps require static files to be copied into resources' staticdirectory. When adding arbitrary files to Jib, it can be more useful to be able to specify target directory.

Similar to the way that a JAR is constructed: https:/oktadeveloper/okta-angular-deployment-example/blob/jar/notes-api/build.gradle.kts#L79

Current workaround is to copy the files into src/main/resources, but these are generated files and shouldn't go into src. See https:/oktadeveloper/okta-angular-deployment-example/blob/jar/notes-api/build.gradle.kts#L98

jib-gradle-plugin Configuration:
See https:/oktadeveloper/okta-angular-deployment-example/blob/jar/notes-api/build.gradle.kts#L98

I think this covers what you're asking for: #1581

tl;dr - extraDirectories will allow something similar to the following:

maven:

<extraDirectories>
  <paths>
    <path>
      <from>src/main/custom-dir</from>
      <into>/target/on/container</into>
    </path>
    ...
  </paths>
</extraDirectories>

gradle:

jib {
  extraDirectories {
    paths {
      path {
        from = 'src/main/custom-dir'
        into = '/target/on/container'
      }
      ...
    }
  }
}

Closing as duplicate of #1581, feel free to comment on the existing issue if you have anything to add.

I believe this will work if the target can be a classpath and I can somehow add "static" as a prefix without copying my files somewhere else first. Do you have a Gradle + Kotlin example? Also, it looks like this is an open issue. Any chance there's a timeline for adding it as a feature?

@TadCordle No need to answer my questions. I figured out a solution with @saturnism's help. Here's my Gradle + Kotlin build for Spring Boot that uses Jib and creates an image with Angular files from a different directory.

import com.moowork.gradle.node.npm.NpmTask
import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile

plugins {
    id("se.patrikerdes.use-latest-versions") version "0.2.13"
    id("com.github.ben-manes.versions") version "0.28.0"
    id("org.springframework.boot") version "2.2.6.RELEASE"
    id("io.spring.dependency-management") version "1.0.9.RELEASE"
    id("com.github.node-gradle.node") version "2.2.3"
    id("com.google.cloud.tools.jib") version "2.2.0"
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.3.61"
    kotlin("plugin.spring") version "1.3.61"
    kotlin("plugin.jpa") version "1.3.61"
}

val spa = "${projectDir}/../notes";

node {
    version = "12.16.2"
    nodeModulesDir = file(spa)
}

group = "com.okta.developer"
version = "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"
java.sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa")
    implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-rest")
    implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
    implementation("com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson-module-kotlin")
    implementation("com.okta.spring:okta-spring-boot-starter:1.4.0")
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect")
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8")
    if (project.hasProperty("prod")) {
        runtimeOnly("org.postgresql:postgresql")
    } else {
        runtimeOnly("com.h2database:h2")
    }
    testImplementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test") {
        exclude(group = "org.junit.vintage", module = "junit-vintage-engine")
    }
}

tasks.withType<Test> {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

tasks.withType<KotlinCompile> {
    kotlinOptions {
        freeCompilerArgs = listOf("-Xjsr305=strict")
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}

val buildWeb = tasks.register<NpmTask>("buildNpm") {
    dependsOn(tasks.npmInstall)
    setNpmCommand("run", "build")
    setArgs(listOf("--", "--prod"))
    inputs.dir("${spa}/src")
    inputs.dir(fileTree("${spa}/node_modules").exclude("${spa}/.cache"))
    outputs.dir("${spa}/dist")
}

val profile = if (project.hasProperty("prod")) "prod" else "dev"

tasks.bootRun {
    args("--spring.profiles.active=${profile}")
}

tasks.processResources {
    rename("application-${profile}.properties", "application.properties")
    if (profile == "prod") {
        dependsOn(buildWeb)
        from("${spa}/dist/notes") {
            into("static")
        }
    }
}

jib {
    to {
        image = "mraible/bootiful-angular"
    }
    container {
        environment = mapOf("SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE" to profile)
    }
}

Any chance there's a timeline for adding it as a feature?

I just started working on it recently, so hopefully it will be in the next release :)

@saturnism @mraible Jib 2.3.0 is released with this very handy feature. Now you can designate target directories with jib.extraDirectories.paths.path.into. See #1581 (comment) for an example.

Cool - thanks!
