How do you exclude conf folder in sbt dist task

Question

I am trying to create a package using sbt-native-packager without the conf folder being in the project jar. I have my conf folder included as such:

resourceDirectory in Compile <<= baseDirectory(_ => new File("conf"))

This include the conf files in the project jar is there a way I can have the conf files included on the classpath for runtime,test,console but not dist?

Answer 1

Try something like

mappings in (Compile, packageBin) ~= { _.filterNot { case (_, name) =>
  Seq("application.conf", "anotherconfig").contains(name)
}}

Answer 2

A variation of your @Alexey Yamshanov very useful above answer.

It excludes some configuration files from packaging inclusion. For instance ending with dev.conf, prod.conf

mappings in (Compile, packageBin) ~= {
  _.filterNot { case (_, name) => Seq("dev.conf", "prod.conf").exists(name.endsWith) }
}
