Which version are you using?  I fixed something for using "file:" not
too long ago.  But I thought it was before release 0.100.

Using "file:" should work, it does for me:

Using this recipe line:

	:attr {publish = file:/tmp/%file%} test/foo.c test/bar.c

% aap -f try.aap publish
Aap: Uploading ['test/bar.c', 'test/foo.c'] to file:/tmp/test
Aap: Copied "test/bar.c" to "file:/tmp/test/bar.c"
Aap: Copied "test/foo.c" to "file:/tmp/test/foo.c"

[A-a-p-user] use copy in a publish statement?

[Matthew Weier OPhinney <matthew-lists@we...>]

I'm setting up a project to have three variants. Each variant executes a
script to change certain text in one or more files, and each publishes
to a different location.

In the first variant, the location is on my machine. I'm currently
having to use:
    :attr { publish = scp://pserver:user@...//path/to/files/%file% } $HTMLFILES

It seems like I should be able to use:
    :attr { publish = :copy {r} %file% /path/to/files/%file% } $HTMLFILES
but aap complains:
    No :// found in ":copy"

Is there a way to have the publish attribute use copy? If so, how? If
not, I'd like to request it. :-)

You can't specify a command in a "publish" attribute.  You can specify a
local directory:

     :attr { publish = file:/path/to/files/%file% } $HTMLFILES

Does that do what you want?

Nope, I get the following error from a-a-p:
    Aap: Uploading ['/home/matthew/projects/personal/content/file2.html',
    '/home/matthew/projects/personal/content/calendar.html',
    '/home/matthew/projects/personal/content/index.html'] to
    file:/home/matthew/public_html/personal/content

    Aap: Error in recipe: Can only upload to scp:// and ftp://

I've tried:
    :attr { publish = file:/path/to/files/%file% } $HTMLFILES
    :attr { publish = file://path/to/files/%file% } $HTMLFILES

and neither of them work, and both give the same error. 

Any other ideas?

I *was* using the version I downloaded right after I saw the 0.100
release. However, I just fetched it again using a different machine, and
the recipe works file with the 'file:/' syntax. 

Guess I should have tried updating earlier!

Thanks!

I've run into a snag -- I'm using .117, for reference.

With scp://, if a directory doesn't exist, aap creates it. With file:/,
it doesn't. Has this changed in a more recent version (is there one?)?
If not, where do I file a bug report/feature request?

Automatically creating a directory is currently specific to "scp://";.
I suppose you are using "file:/" as part of publishing.  I agree
that this should work consistently and create the directory as well.
Thus this should be a feature of publishing, not of the specific method
to transfer the files.

I'll put this in the todo list, but don't expect this soon.

That was my thought -- I use 'file:/' when publishing to my development
box, 'scp:/' when publishing to my customer test box, and either 'scp:/'
or 'ftp:/' when uploading to my customers' sites. This allows me to keep
the development environment separate from the web environment entirely.

> I'll put this in the todo list, but don't expect this soon.

Excellent. I'll keep an eye out for it; in the meantime, I can certainly
work around the issue.
