Plugin resources are not copied to site

• Key: FOR-341
• Type: Bug

Description

If a plugin contains some resources required in a statically built site (such as Javascripts) they are not copied across to build/site when "forrest site" is run.

Comments

This behaviour can be seen when using the S5 plugin. Some javascript files are not linked from the xdocs but are imported by other javascript files.

A user (greg.vaco.AT.cox.net) also reported a similar problem in that if some raw files were linked in such a way that Cocoon does not see the link (in this case the link is a javascript function) then they are not copied across.

This is happening in the S5 plugin because there are JS scripts that are imported by linked JS scripts. That is, Forrest has no way of knowing they are there.

Since this only affects one plugin, and that plugin is not a part of the Forrest project, but a third party effort (with me being the third party), this can be pushed to 0.8

[Ross Gardler]

Reducing priority. This only happens with plugins that include Javascript, currently Forrest has none.
