I'm trying to write a Rakefile that both builds my code normally when I run rake compile but puts the targets in a different directory and builds with -DTEST when I run rake test. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it, though. I've got something like this at the moment: SRC = FileList['src/*.erl'] OBJ = SRC.pathmap("%{sr...

I'd like to have 3 distinct builds within a TeamCity project (Development, QA, Production). With the dependencies linked (Production can't build without a successful QA, and QA can't build without a successful Development), I'd like to propagate the version numbers through the builds.

Basepath Filter Rewriting? I'm trying to use the basepath filter in webby to rewrite all of the URLs in my project. The documentation on the basepath filter for Webby is a little bit "light" concerning this, and there just simply isn't enough of it that I can understand how to use it. If I find the solution to this, however I plan to ...
For ad hoc Rails tasks we have a few implementation alternatives, chief among which would seem to be script/runner some_useful_thing and rake some:other_useful_thing Which option should I prefer? If there's a clear favourite then when, if ever, should I consider using the other? If never, then why would you suppose it's still prese...
I'm using rails with the oracleenhanced adaptor to create a new interface for a legacy application. Database migrations work successfully, but take an incredibly long amount of time before rake finishes. The database changes happen pretty quickly (1 or 2 seconds), but the db/schema.db dump takes over an hour to complete. (See example mi...
I would like to run db:migrate VERSION=0 and then db:migrate inside of my own rake task. I am confused about how to do this. Do I need a special require statement? My rake task will reside in the lib/tasks directory of a Rails app. Thanks. ...
I have a rake task file for a RubyOnRails app which resides in the lib/tasks directory. Running [rake db:migrate VERSION=0] seems to force the compiler to check syntax in the lib/tasks files. If there is a file with bad syntax then [rake db:migrate] does not run. Why? So what if I have a bad file in lib/tasks. What is happening her...
Following the great advice of Chris Wanstrath, I decided to vendor everything. However, whenever I run a rake task now I get an error for each of my unpacked gems stating config.gem: Unpacked gem gemname in vendor/gems has no specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this. I've done this but no dice. Anyone have the...

Hi, I'm writing a rake script and would like to detect (using Ruby rather than bash if possible) if the user who executed the rake script has root privileges. If it is not root then I would like to terminate the script. Regards, Chris ...
Hello, I have an application that checks a database every minute for any emails that are supposed to be sent out at that time. I was thinking about making this a rake task that would be run by a cron job every minute. Would there be a better solution to this? From what I have read, this isn't ideal because rake has to load the entire ra...
