Reload files where resource path doesn't match web url path

[pesterhazy]

I've seen a few issues related to this but wanted to explain the problem again, with the hope of finding an elegant solution.

Consider this common scenario:

• clojure (ring?) serves /public from java resources. E.g. /public/css/style.css is served at /css/style.css. The idea is that all public assets are located in a single resource directory.
• you want to expose files to the public if, and only if, they're in /public
• your boot-cljs configuration is located at public/js/app.cljs.edn

In this scenario, boot-reload tries to load /public/js/app.js, but the files is actually (and properly) served as /js/app.js. If I understand the code, :cljs-asset-path doesn't work here because it will only prepend a string to the path, not change it.

Is my assumption correct that boot-reload doesn't cover this scenario? If so, what would be required to add support?

Use asset-path instead of cljs-asset-path.

@pesterhazy see https://github.com/adzerk-oss/boot-reload/blob/master/src/adzerk/boot_reload/server.clj#L26-L28

(reload :asset-path "/public") work for me.

:asset-path works for me, yes. Thanks!

I guess I was confused by the naming/docs, but then this was a dupe of #99
