When a DTL template includes other template files, those files don't need
to be compiled separately, and therefore can be given an extension different
from `source_ext` (such as `.dtli`) to avoid being compiled. This fix
allows rebar to find included dependencies with names `*.dtl*` rather
than `*.dtl` and properly determine if a template file needs to be recompiled.
Handle the case where the error didn't occur in the file being
compiled. That is, if there is an error on line 9 of bar.hrl,
instead of:
/path/to/foo.erl:9: type foo() already defined
print:
/path/to/bar.hrl:9: type foo() already defined
Introduce a new 'raw' option for dependency specs in rebar.config file.
For example:
{deps,
{dependency_name, "1.0.*",
{git, "<...>", {branch, "master"}},
[raw]
}
]}.
When this option is specified, rebar does not require the dependency to
have a standard Erlang/OTP layout which assumes presence of either
"src/dependency_name.app.src" or "ebin/dependency_name.app" files.
'raw' dependencies can still contain 'rebar.config' and even can have
the proper OTP directory layout, but they won't be compiled.
Only a subset of rebar commands will be executed on the 'raw'
subdirectories:
get-deps, update-deps, check-deps, list-deps and delete-deps.
This allows an <app-name>.app.src.script to be defined and evaluated
when <app-name>.app.src or <app-name>.app are loaded. This allows the
user to add project specific manipulations to app metadata.
By default protobuffs doesn't create beams with debug info. This
causes issues when running dialyzer which requires debug info. Read
the `erl_opts` config and pass it down to protobuffs compiler.
Cover gets slower and slower for each application. This is due to the
cover_server internal state. Stopping the cover server between
eunit+cover runs, emptying the cover_server state, gives a ~5-6x speed
improvement when analyzing many Erlang modules. Stopping the cover
server replaces the earlier practice of doing a cover:reset before each
run. On a project consisting of 62 dependencies with a total of 1866
Erlang modules the running time of rebar eunit decreased from ~20
minutes to ~3 minutes.
