Does Darkfish-Rdoc work properly?

Ruby
1

Hi, I’ve installed “rdoc” via gem and got surprised since the downloades
version in Darkfish-Rdoc:
dev(E)iate

I’m not sure if Darkfish-Rdoc is the continuation of RDoc or a
fork/version (I
expected it was a version due to the project description).

The version installed is rdoc 2.4.1.

When I run “rdoc” in a simple directory with just 3 files, I get a big
ammount
of doc directories (obviously something is wrong) like:

my_project/doc/doc/doc/doc/doc/doc/doc…

containing files with name:

MyClass_html_html_html_html_html_html.html

and so on.

Could somebody clarify me on it?

Thanks a lot.

It is a generator.

The version installed is rdoc 2.4.1.

This version contains the latest Darkfish as of today.

Don’t run rdoc against it’s output directory.

If your project uses hoe, rake docs will do the right thing.

True, thanks. But I wonder why using RDoc V1.0.1 - 20041108 I can run
“rdoc”
command from the sources directory (so it generates “doc” directory).
Anyway
I understand that I shouldn’t do it.

Thanks a lot.

most ppl generate rdoc via their rakefile and that includes a “clean”
dependency that is met before the rdoc generates. If you use hoe you
get this for free.
