I think I solved my own problem. I had forgotten that the path is expanded by the buildr version of the file task and I need to add path_to or _ before the dependency is added to the task
> task task_name => path_to(html) Here is the working code, for good measure. def asciidoc_task task_name, file_list, options={} file_list.each do |src| html = src.pathmap('%d/target/%n.html') pdf = src.pathmap('%d/target/%n.pdf') file _(html) => _(src) do asciidoc src, html puts src if options[:pdf] wkpdf html, pdf end end task task_name => _(html) end end Regards Anders On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 9:10 PM, Anders Janmyr <anders.jan...@jayway.com> wrote: > Hi again, > > I have a task and it works as expected in Rake, but it fails when I am > using buildr. > > # This is the task defined in docs.rake > def asciidoc from, to > system "asciidoc --unsafe --out-file=#{to} #{from}" > end > > def wkpdf from, to > system "wkpdf --source #{from} --output #{to} --format A4" > end > > > # Generates a task for generating html with asciidoc > # file_list:: A FileList > # options:: pdf => true, generate a pdf from the generated html > def asciidoc_task task_name, file_list, options={} > file_list.each do |src| > html = src.pathmap('%d/target/%n.html') > pdf = src.pathmap('%d/target/%n.pdf') > file html => src do > asciidoc src, html > puts src > if options[:pdf] > wkpdf html, pdf > end > end > task task_name => html > end > end > > This is how I use it: > asciidoc_task :doc, FileList['docs/*.txt'] > > > when I run > rake doc > it works fine > > But when I run > buildr doc > I get an error saying that the dependency is not satisfied. > > Don't know how to build task 'docs/target/applications_and_nodes.html' > > Can I not use the file task in this way with buildr? > > Thankful for any help, it looks correct when I am debugging. > > Anders > > > -- > http://anders.janmyr.com/ > -- http://anders.janmyr.com/
