Public Class Methods

new() click to toggle source

Initialize a Rake::Application object.

Calls superclass method BasicObject.new

# File lib/rake/application.rb, line 46
def initialize
  super
  @name = 'rake'
  @rakefiles = DEFAULT_RAKEFILES.dup
  @rakefile = nil
  @pending_imports = []
  @imported = []
  @loaders = {}
  @default_loader = Rake::DefaultLoader.new
  @original_dir = Dir.pwd
  @top_level_tasks = []
  add_loader('rb', DefaultLoader.new)
  add_loader('rf', DefaultLoader.new)
  add_loader('rake', DefaultLoader.new)
  @tty_output = STDOUT.tty?
  @terminal_columns = ENV['RAKE_COLUMNS'].to_i
end

Public Instance Methods

add_loader(ext, loader) click to toggle source

Add a loader to handle imported files ending in the extension ext.

# File lib/rake/application.rb, line 129
def add_loader(ext, loader)
  ext = ".#{ext}" unless ext =~ /^\./
  @loaders[ext] = loader
end

init(app_name='rake') click to toggle source

Initialize the command line parameters and app name.

# File lib/rake/application.rb, line 83
def init(app_name='rake')
  standard_exception_handling do
    @name = app_name
    args = handle_options
    collect_command_line_tasks(args)
  end
end

load_rakefile() click to toggle source

Find the rakefile and then load it and any pending imports.

# File lib/rake/application.rb, line 92
def load_rakefile
  standard_exception_handling do
    raw_load_rakefile
  end
end

options() click to toggle source

Application options from the command line

# File lib/rake/application.rb, line 135
def options
  @options ||= OpenStruct.new
end

run() click to toggle source

Run the Rake application. The run method performs the following three steps:

Initialize the command line options (init).
Define the tasks (load_rakefile).
Run the top level tasks (top_level).

If you wish to build a custom rake command, you should call init on your application. Then define any tasks. Finally, call top_level to run your top level tasks.

# File lib/rake/application.rb, line 74
def run
  standard_exception_handling do
    init
    load_rakefile
    top_level
  end
end

run_with_threads() { || ... } click to toggle source

Run the given block with the thread startup and shutdown.

# File lib/rake/application.rb, line 112
def run_with_threads
  thread_pool.gather_history if options.job_stats == :history

  yield

  thread_pool.join
  if options.job_stats
    stats = thread_pool.statistics
    puts "Maximum active threads: #{stats[:max_active_threads]} + main"
    puts "Total threads in play:  #{stats[:total_threads_in_play]} + main"
  end
  ThreadHistoryDisplay.new(thread_pool.history).show if
    options.job_stats == :history
end

top_level() click to toggle source

Run the top level tasks of a Rake application.

# File lib/rake/application.rb, line 99
def top_level
  run_with_threads do
    if options.show_tasks
      display_tasks_and_comments
    elsif options.show_prereqs
      display_prerequisites
    else
      top_level_tasks.each { |task_name| invoke_task(task_name) }
    end
  end
end
