A Giter8 template for creating Scala Play projects for HMRC digital services
This is a fork of Nick Karaolis's original template, with two new branches that include support for integration tests and scoverage.
To use the template you need to have SBT version of 0.13.13 or later
Information to install this on linux can be found here:
http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Installing-sbt-on-Linux.html
To create a template service:
- Locate to the directory where you want to create the template
- To create a generic microservice run the command
sbt new johnrevill/hmrc-service-template.g8
Or if you want to create a frontend/API run the command
sbt new johnrevill/hmrc-service-template.g8 -b <Frontend or API> - Enter the name of your new service when prompted and then the new project will be created
Nb: Under Linux, if you try to compile the created project then you may
encounter an exception such as
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: One of setGitDir or setWorkTree must be called..
This seems to be a bug in grgit.
The workaround is simply to init a new git repo with the files in an initial commit.
