I’m working on a new gem which is pretty much ready to be released.
I’m using hoe to manage it but I can’t get the rdoc task to include my
README.txt as a doc index and the generated rdocs are not providing
the [show source] link after every method.
README.txt is included in the Manifest.txt
Could someone help me getting this working?
My relevant Rakefile lines
==rakefile start
AUTHOR = “blank” # can also be an array of Authors
EMAIL = “your contact email for bug fixes and info”
DESCRIPTION = “handles money objects using just integer as backend”
GEM_NAME = “more_money” # what ppl will type to install your gem
RUBYFORGE_PROJECT = “moremoney” # The unix name for your project
HOMEPATH = “http://#{RUBYFORGE_PROJECT}.rubyforge.org”
RELEASE_TYPES = %w( gem ) # can use: gem, tar, zip
NAME = “more_money”
REV = nil # UNCOMMENT IF REQUIRED:
File.read(".svn/entries")[/committed-rev="(d+)"/, 1] rescue nil
VERS = ENV[‘VERSION’] || (MoreMoney::VERSION::STRING + (REV ? “.#{REV}”
: “”))
CLEAN.include [’**/..sw?’, '.gem’, ‘.config’]
hoe = Hoe.new(GEM_NAME, VERS) do |p|
p.author = AUTHOR
p.description = DESCRIPTION
p.email = EMAIL
p.summary = DESCRIPTION
p.url = HOMEPATH
p.rubyforge_name = RUBYFORGE_PROJECT if RUBYFORGE_PROJECT
p.test_globs = [“test/**/*_test.rb”]
p.clean_globs = CLEAN #An array of file patterns to delete on clean.
end
Thanks for your reply, with it I managed to fix all my issues.
I still have to understand why now the gem_server on my machine still
shows the rdocs without readme file (even after a version number
update and a complete cleanup), but the gem now generates all the docs
as I expected.
Anyway my gem is finished and online and I’m quite happy with it.
