how to create different builds using sbt based on environment?

Question

I am using sbt for my scala project, i want to create build for different environment like local, development, stage and production. these build will have different property file, log4j file and token files. So to handle this i need different folders with files under src/main/resources like local, dev, stage and prod. Based on the build environment it should pick files from respective folders. Can you guide me to do this using sbt.

Read up on scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Scopes.html and pick an axis which you wanna use to define the different environments. I'd recommend different projects, akin to what scala.js does. — Reactormonk

Instead of create different files use environment variables inside https://github.com/typesafehub/config , for instance:

akka {
  loglevel = "DEBUG"
  loglevel = ${?LOGLEVEL}
}

If LOGLEVEL is not set "DEBUG" is the default config. Anyway, if you want to include different files making jars you can use different configuration for the sbt-assembly plugging.
