Play Framework sbt-concat does not work with wildcard setting

Question

I was trying to bundle all css under a directory and its sub-directories. However, I found that only the files under direct level of the specified directory would be bundled, but not the ones in sub-directories.

Then, I tried something like this to indicate that it is for everything including "lib.css" -> group(((sourceDirectory in Assets).value / "css" / "core" / "lib") * "**/*.css") This is not working for me.

I opened up an issue in github already and I hope it will be fixed soon. However, I would like know if anyone out there already has a solution and would be great if he can share. https://github.com/ground5hark/sbt-concat/issues/8

You're using /. You probably want **.

Check out the PathFinder docs:

def /(literal: String): PathFinder
Constructs a new finder that selects all paths with name literal that are immediate children of paths selected by this finder.

def **(filter: FileFilter): PathFinder
Constructs a new finder that selects all paths with a name that matches filter and are descendants of paths selected by this finder.

So you probably want something like this:

(sourceDirectory in Assets).value / "css" / "core" / "lib" ** "*.css"
