Hi,
We recently switched to buildr 1.4.5 and it's working very fine. Thanks
everyone for all your work on buildr : I am very happy with it.
I have a few questions/remarks about the new idea task. First, it seems
to work better than the previous one, so good job !
I found problems with managing test dependencies : they should be marked
as scope='TEST' in the idea file ; in my code base, it made my whole
project not compiling. I have written a spec and implemented it, but I'm
not very happy with my coding : I found that changing the idea.rb wasn't
easy (xml is changed by reference - side effects, confusion between main
dependencies and test dependancies) and I made a choice (test = !
export) that is not correct. If I want to be more precise in my
implementation, I would be obliged to rewrite the
test_dependency_details method, but I might need some help for that (I'm
not a rubyist). I don't know how to add this as a test, since my
implementation passes all tests.
Should I open a bug under JIRA ? Should I propose a patch or should I
make a pull request under github ?
Please review my commit here :
https://github.com/jpcaruana/buildr/commit/7acd5f7fb68ddde9705e4ea8a366147fe358bf25
This is working fine for our code base, but might not be correct for
other situations (since I made a drastic choice, as I explained earlier).
Also, a remark. The CLI API changed : in the past, a simple "buildr
idea" was ok to generated idea files, but now we have to do a "buildr
idea:generate". This is inconsistent with the eclipse plugin (still
"buildr eclipse"), makes me think of the infamous "mvn eclipse:eclipse"
(argh ! eclipse twice !) and shows implementation details to the final
user. What do you think about it ? Should I file a bug for that too ?
Thanks.
