Dealing with resources (copying) when building a ClojurScript project using leiningen

I have just begun playing with ClojureScript and I'd like to collect all CSS files into a single folder (out/css). I found leiningen-less and with the following config I get the compiled CSS files into the correct location:

:less {:source-paths ["src/less"] :target-path "out/css"}

I can't find any documentation on how I can handle the ordinary CSS files (e.g. the file for resetting defaults, css/reset.css). Basically I want the equivalent of cp css/*css out/css.

I did find lein-resource but it does a bit more than I require (pass things through stencil) and more importantly it through an UnsupportedOperationException on my with what I thought would a be a valid configuration:

:resource {:resource-paths ["css" {:target-path "out/css"}]}

Please englighten me!

I think better and easy solution would be that you write a function that uses clojure.java.io library functions and integrate them with lein-less "compiler" fork, so this is my internal function proposal:

(defn your-fn[] 
  (remove-folder "./out") ;; => you have to do how to make that fn following io lib doc
  (copy-folder "./css ./out") ;; ;; => you have to do how to make that fn following io lib doc
  (run-compiler  :javascript
                 {:project-root "your-project-root/"
                  :source-paths ["less"]
                  :target-path "out"})))

PS: note that you need to call this fn from your clojurescript compilation process, BTW I didn't know if there is a way for that :)

For your particular use case just rename reset.css to reset.less. less should be able to read CSS without problems.

For more advanced frontend tooling maybe consider adding something like make/grunt/etc. More complexity but more power & flexibility.
