Allow users to specify a build target directory - useful if for examp… #12

Closed opalfroot closed 7 years ago

opalfroot commented 7 years ago

This small changes allows users to specify a build target path. I find this useful in cases where my project has many modules and I'd like to be able to specify the path of say a REST service to be rebuild and run.

How is this different from the BuildPath?

opalfroot commented 7 years ago

The BuildPath is where the binary goes and the BuildTargetPath is where the source resides - ie look here for buildable code.

The idea behind this is you can specify a specific package to rebuild on change and you dont need to rely on having a main somewhere at the top level. This is a likely scenario for people building cli's and web services in the same codebase using shared middle code.

In that case, couldn't we use the AppRoot config setting instead of adding a new one?

opalfroot commented 7 years ago

That wouldn't really work. That setting is used by the walker which needs to know about all the code you have in your project - not just the build target directory.
