Hey all - This is an extremely trivial point, so don't spend too much time on it :) I understand the rationale behind the truncation of task descriptions in 'rake -T' but I find the 80 column limit a little too condensed for my personal tastes. I whipped up a rake task that displays tasks and allows me to specify my column limit with an environment variable. Something like: $ export RAKE_DESC_COLS=180 $ rake t $ rake t[some-pattern]
The rake task is detailed here: http://offtheline.net/2008/2/24/rake-and-truncated-task-descriptions If anyone thinks they might find this useful, I'd be willing to create a patch (to work with '-T' rather than a task named 't'). Let me know if you'd prefer using an environment variable or another command-line switch. Personally, I like the environment variable because I can stick it in my .bashrc and have different column width depending on what computer I'm in front of. - Jason L. -- My Rails and Linux Blog: http://offtheline.net _______________________________________________ Rake-devel mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rake-devel
