conan.tools.files.AutoPackager

Available since: 1.42.0

The AutoPackager together with the package layouts feature, allow to automatically package the files following the declared information in the layout() method:

It will copy:

• Files from self.cpp.local.includedirs to self.cpp.package.includedirs

• Files from self.cpp.local.libdirs to self.cpp.package.libdirs

• Files from self.cpp.local.bindirs to self.cpp.package.bindirs

• Files from self.cpp.local.srcdirs to self.cpp.package.srcdirs

• Files from self.cpp.local.builddirs to self.cpp.package.builddirs

• Files from self.cpp.local.resdirs to self.cpp.package.resdirs

• Files from self.cpp.local.frameworkdirs to self.cpp.package.frameworkdirs

The patterns of the files to be copied can be defined with the .patterns property of the AutoPackager instance. The default patterns are:

packager = AutoPackager(self)
packager.patterns.include == ["*.h", "*.hpp", "*.hxx"]
packager.patterns.lib == ["*.so", "*.so.*", "*.a", "*.lib", "*.dylib"]
packager.patterns.bin == ["*.exe", "*.dll"]
packager.patterns.src == []
packager.patterns.build == []
packager.patterns.res == []
packager.patterns.framework == []

Usage:

from conan import ConanFile
from conan.tools.files import AutoPackager

class Pkg(ConanFile):

    def layout(self):
        ...

    def package(self):
        packager = AutoPackager(self)
        packager.patterns.include = ["*.hpp", "*.h", "include3.h"]
        packager.patterns.lib = ["*.a"]
        packager.patterns.bin = ["*.exe"]
        packager.patterns.src = ["*.cpp"]
        packager.patterns.framework = ["sframe*", "bframe*"]
        packager.run()
