Automatize recurrent dev tasks with swag

kamaze-project

This gem is intended to provide a bunch of recurrent dev tasks, such as:

• packaging (gem, rubyc)
• running automated tests (rspec)
• generating documentation (yardoc)
• checking and/or correcting coding style (rubocop)
• running virtual machines (vagrant)

and so on.

Automation mostly relies on the gem (and gemspec) standards, most tasks SHOULD run in a sufficient gem context.

Install

gem 'rake', '~> 13.0'
gem 'kamaze-project', '~> 1.0'

gem install kamaze-project

Optional dependencies

Some dependencies are optional, as seen inspecting the gems.rb file.

For example, rspec is considered as a development dependency, but rspec is required by the test task. The listen gem is optional, due to several system incompatibilities; listen gem is only used by some "watch optional tasks".

Example (gems.rb) with optional dependencies :

group :development do
  gem 'rake', '~> 13.0'
  gem 'rubocop', '~> 0.79'
  gem 'rugged', '~> 0.28'
  gem 'sys-proc', '~> 1.1'

  # 'listen' is used to "watch"
  # but could be incompatible with some systems
  gem 'listen', '~> 3.2'
end

group :doc do
  gem 'yard', '~> 0.9'
end

group :repl do
  gem 'pry', '~> 0.12'
end

group :test do
  gem 'rspec', '~> 3.7'
end

Troubles with rugged gem

Some system dependencies are required to install rugged as native extensions:

• make or gmake
• cmake
• pkg-config
• libssl-dev (asked for OpenSSL TLS backend)

depending on Linux distributions, and/or package managers, dependency names are likely to change.

Ease of use

This gem keeps ease of use (and DRY) in mind.

Sample of use:

require 'kamaze/project'

Kamaze::Project.instance do |project|
  project.subject = Kamaze::Project
  project.name    = :'kamaze-project'
  project.tasks   = [
    'cs:correct', 'cs:control', 'cs:pre-commit',
    'doc', 'doc:watch', 'gem', 'gem:compile',
    'shell', 'sources:license', 'test', 'version:edit',
  ]
end.load!

A project has a name and a subject. Project name SHOULD be the same as the name of the (eventually) generated gem package name.

Environment

When project is instantiated, a dotenv (.env) file CAN be read, evaluated and loaded. This could be useful to set specific environment variables, such as automake's flag variables:

export CPPFLAGS='-P'

On the other hand, .env file COULD define the project name:

export PROJECT_NAME='kamaze-project'

When project name is defined, on instantiation, the PROJECT_NAME environment variable is ignored, and has no effect. Furthermore a mode SHOULD be defined, using environment:

export PROJECT_MODE='development'

Tools

Kamaze::Project provides several tools. Tools are aimed to afford easy-to-use and agnostic integration (with low dependency to rake) of tools such as gem, rubocop, rspec or yardoc. Some cli tools integrations, when it is not possible to do otherwise, are also provided; such as rubyc or vagrant.

Furthermore, adding a new tool is really easy.

require 'kamaze/project'

class AwesomeTool < Kamaze::Project::Tools::BaseTool
  def run
    # do something awesome
  end
end

Kamaze::Project.instance do |project|
  # initialization (as seen above)

  project.tools = {
    awesome: AwesomeTool,
  }
end.load!

# your tool is accessible (through DSL):
tools.fetch(:awesome)
