Hi,
i have a ruby script that does for 1 - n folders a
cp_r of every folder to an existing cvs workspace
and afterwards the cvs operations
update to determine if add is needed
add if needed 1-n times
commit
As the cvs CLI lacks a recursive parameter for
the update / add commands, means when a new file
like subfolder/subfile.txt comes in
the add command only recognizes subfolder, but the
subfile.txt only after a 2nd add command
i have to do =
- updpipe=IO.popen("#{CVSEXE} -d #{CVSROOT} update")
updpipe.readlines.each { |x|
updfiles<<’.’<<’/’<<x[2…-2]<<’ ’ }
to determine whether there are new files to be added
if updfiles != 0 i have to execute the cvs add command =
2.addpipe=IO.popen("#{CVSEXE} -d #{CVSROOT} add #{updfiles.to_s}")
addpipe.readlines.each { |x|
addfiles<<’.’<<’/’<<x[2…-2]<<’ ’ }
this add command gives me other folders or files that are also to be
added, if there are more to be added, i.e subfolders/subfiles …
so i have to do the cvs add in a loop until nothing more comes
back from that cvs add command.
then i have to do a final commit =
3.system("#{CVSEXE}","-d","#{CVSROOT}",“commit”,"-m",“bla bla bla bla”)
Now i’m looking for the best loop construct, i know
the addfiles array has to be cleared after every cvs add before
executing cvs add again
There is something like retry/redo i tried with retry after and before
the end of a while loop
updfiles=Array.new
updpipe=IO.popen("#{CVSEXE} -d #{CVSROOT} update")
updpipe.readlines.each { |x|
updfiles<<’.’<<’/’<<x[2…-2]<<’ ’ }
while updfiles.length > 0
addfiles=Array.new
addpipe=IO.popen("#{CVSEXE} -d #{CVSROOT} add #{updfiles.to_s}")
addpipe.readlines.each { |x|
addfiles<<’.’<<’/’<<x[2…-2]<<’ ’ }
updfiles.clear
addfiles.clear
updpipe.readlines.each { |x|
updfiles<<’.’<<’/’<<x[2…-2]<<’ ’ }
end
retry
but got :
retry outside of rescue clause (LocalJumpError)
What’s the right loop ?
Is there a solution without retry / redo ?
