Haven't been too active on the list lately. Buildr has been behaving itself
very well.
I have an advanced question.
This may have been covered, it seems obvious, but I haven't really seen this
one discussed.
I want to be able to have the option of running Buildr from within a Ruby
application, Chef recipe etc.
And yes, obviously I can exec it off as another process, but that seems
really lame since Buildr is in Ruby.
Hacking around a bit, I came up with the following, which fails on run
test.rb
====
require 'rubygems'
require 'buildr'
include Buildr
include Rake
include RakeFileUtils
app = Application.new
p app # yep object is there...
app.run #blows up
I have already created a buildfile in the same directory.
The error looks like this:
$ ruby test.rb
#<Buildr::Application:0x1015bee40 @on_completion=[], @tty_output=true,
@tasks={}, @default_loader=#<Rake::DefaultLoader:0x1015bec38>,
