Can't include a directory outside the dist directory into the application distribution

[mcarlin]

Hey @johnrengelman

I've been trying to include a directory outside the dist directory in to the application distribution. When doing this with the installApp task the directory is properly brought into the install build directory but when using the installShadowApp it isn't copied into the installShadow build directory. I've used the following code to include the directory

applicationDistribution.from('config') {
    into "config"
}

Is there something I'm missing?

The installShadow is controlled by a separate applicationDistribution. Try setting this:

shadow.applicationDistribution.from('config') {
  into "config"
}

Works great!! Thanks
