How to stage sub-project in Play Activator from bash script?

In my play project I have a separate akka module that I run stand-alone. If I want to stage this module I usually do the following:

  1. ./activator
  2. project akkaProject
  3. compile
  4. stage

I can stage the main project from a script using ./activator compile && ./activator stage, but I can't find the correct syntax to do this for a sub-project (without going inside the activator).

Solution

  • tl;dr activator akkaProject/stage

    You need to scope the stage task to akkaProject project and since stage depends on compile you don't need to execute both -- let sbt do it for you.
