This a FileUtils extension that defines several additional commands to be added to the FileUtils utility functions.

RUBY = File.join(Config::CONFIG['bindir'], Config::CONFIG['ruby_install_name'])
LN_SUPPORTED = [true]
Public Instance methods
ruby(*args,&block)

Run a Ruby interpreter with the given arguments.

Example:

  ruby %{-pe '$_.upcase!' <README}
     # File lib/rake.rb, line 747
747:   def ruby(*args,&block)
748:     options = (Hash === args.last) ? args.pop : {}
749:     if args.length > 1 then
750:       sh(*([RUBY] + args + [options]), &block)
751:     else
752:       sh("#{RUBY} #{args}", options, &block)
753:     end
754:   end
safe_ln(*args)

Attempt to do a normal file link, but fall back to a copy if the link fails.

     # File lib/rake.rb, line 760
760:   def safe_ln(*args)
761:     unless LN_SUPPORTED[0]
762:       cp(*args)
763:     else
764:       begin
765:         ln(*args)
766:       rescue StandardError, NotImplementedError => ex
767:         LN_SUPPORTED[0] = false
768:         cp(*args)
769:       end
770:     end
771:   end
sh(*cmd, &block)

Run the system command cmd. If multiple arguments are given the command is not run with the shell (same semantics as Kernel::exec and Kernel::system).

Example:

  sh %{ls -ltr}

  sh 'ls', 'file with spaces'

  # check exit status after command runs
  sh %{grep pattern file} do |ok, res|
    if ! ok
      puts "pattern not found (status = #{res.exitstatus})"
    end
  end
     # File lib/rake.rb, line 724
724:   def sh(*cmd, &block)
725:     options = (Hash === cmd.last) ? cmd.pop : {}
726:     unless block_given?
727:       show_command = cmd.join(" ")
728:       show_command = show_command[0,42] + "..." 
729:         # TODO code application logic heref show_command.length > 45
730:       block = lambda { |ok, status|
731:         ok or fail "Command failed with status (#{status.exitstatus}): [#{show_command}]"
732:       }
733:     end
734:     rake_check_options options, :noop, :verbose
735:     rake_output_message cmd.join(" ") if options[:verbose]
736:     unless options[:noop]
737:       res = system(*cmd)
738:       block.call(res, $?)
739:     end
740:   end
split_all(path)

Split a file path into individual directory names.

Example:

  split_all("a/b/c") =>  ['a', 'b', 'c']
     # File lib/rake.rb, line 778
778:   def split_all(path)
779:     head, tail = File.split(path)
780:     return [tail] if head == '.' || tail == '/'
781:     return [head, tail] if head == '/'
782:     return split_all(head) + [tail]
783:   end
