Just starting out with Rake and Ruby, and made a little rakefile
(below).
It does a simple dependency based file copy of source files to a “dist”
directory. I works fine, but I was wondering if there is a way to
retrieve the “regex” argument to Rake::rule in the proc that generates
or modifies the “task_name”. If so I wouldn’t have to add a variable
(testregex in rakefile) in the scope that calls “rule”. Or maybe a way
to access $’ $` and $& from the regex test that matches the rule’s
target (task_name)
If this is better posted to another list let me know ;^>
PK
**** rakefile ****
task :default => [:test]
LIBSRCDIR = ‘…/…/common’
I didn’t see this in the “FileList”
def addprefix(prefix,files)
a = FileList.new() # can one allocate to files.size?
files.each_index { |i|
a[i] = prefix + files[i];
}
return(a)
end
gotta do what ya gotta do
def regexifyPath(str)
return(str.gsub(///,’/’).
gsub(/./,’.’))
end
copy in source for AiroNetSampleLib.dll
NETLIBSRC = [
‘HTTPClient.cpp’,
‘HTTPInputStream.cpp’,
‘HTTPChunkedOutputStream.cpp’,
‘HTTPClientImpl.h’,
]
NETLIBDIR = ‘./NetSampleLib’
directory NETLIBDIR
NETLIBSRC_FULL = addprefix(NETLIBDIR + ‘/’, NETLIBSRC)
testregex = Regexp.new(’^’ + regexifyPath(NETLIBDIR + ‘/’))
rule( testregex => [
proc { |task_name| task_name.sub(testregex, LIBSRCDIR + ‘/aironet/’)
}
]) do |t|
puts “cp #{t.source} #{t.name}”
cp t.source, t.name
end
task :test => NETLIBSRC_FULL do |t|
puts “building #{t.name}”
puts “from #{t.prerequisites}”
end
