sbt, the interactive build tool
Go to file
Ethan Atkins 72df8f674c Add support for managed task inputs
In my recent changes to watch, I have been moving towards a world in
which sbt manages the file inputs and outputs at the task level. The
main idea is that we want to enable a user to specify the inputs and
outputs of a task and have sbt able to track those inputs across
multiple task evaluations. Sbt should be able to automatically trigger a
build when the inputs change and it also should be able to avoid task
evaluation if non of the inputs have changed.

The former case of having sbt automatically watch the file inputs of a
task has been present since watch was refactored. In this commit, I
make it possible for the user to retrieve the lists of new, modified and
deleted files. The user can then avoid task evaluation if none of the
inputs have changed.

To implement this, I inject a number of new settings during project
load if the fileInputs setting is defined for a task. The injected
settings are:

allPathsAndAttributes -- this retrieves all of the paths described by
  the fileInputs for the task along with their attributes
fileStamps -- this retrieves all of the file stamps for the files
  returned by allPathsAndAttributes

Using these two injected tasks, I also inject a number of derived tasks,
such as allFiles, which returns all of the regular files returned by
allPathsAndAttributes and changedFiles, which returns all of the regular
files that have been modified since the last run.

Using these injected settings, the user is able to write tasks that
avoid evaluation if the inputs haven't changed.

foo / fileInputs += baseDirectory.value.toGlob / ** / "*.scala"
foo := {
  foo.previous match {
    case Some(p) if (foo / changedFiles).value.isEmpty => p
    case _ => fooImpl((foo / allFiles).value
  }
}

To make this whole mechanism work, I add a private task key:
val fileAttributeMap = taskKey[java.util.HashMap[Path, Stamp]]("...")
This keeps track of the stamps for all of the files that are managed by
sbt. The fileStamps task will first look for the stamp in the attribute
map and, only if it is not present, it will update the cache. This
allows us to ensure that a given file will only be stamped once per task
evaluation run no matter how the file inputs are specified. Moreover, in
a continuous build, I'm able to reuse the attribute map which can
significantly reduce latency because the default file stamping
implementation used by zinc is fairly expensive (it can take anywhere
between 300-1500ms to stamp 5000 8kb source files on my mac).

I also renamed some of the watch related keys to be a bit more clear.
