How to exclude unmanaged resources from Compile scope only (not from Test)

Question

In one of my sub projects, I am trying to exclude *.conf and *.groovy files from my list of unmanaged resources:

excludeFilter in Compile in unmanagedResources  := "*.conf" || "*.groovy"

Now, this works but has the unintended effect of removing the *.conf files from Test. I tried to add the following includeFilter setting :

includeFilter in Test in unmanagedResources := "*.conf"

However, this does not work. I figure that there is a relationship between Test and Compile that may be causing this issue. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

There are two issues here and you've identified the main one, which is the relationship between Test and Compile. The other is that a file must both be included by includeFilter and not be excluded by excludeFilter.

Test gets its settings from Compile if none are specified for Test explicitly. When you define excludeFilter in Compile, it applies to Test as well. So, you can define excludeFilter in Test to be the default, which is to ignore hidden files:

excludeFilter in Test := HiddenFileFilter

(Or, you can use NoFilter to not have any exclusions.)
