Hi Antoine,
Rereadig my mail, I realize that I should have provided a bit more
context (and sorry for the double message BTW).
My buildfile essentially contains something like this:
define 'my-extension' do
package(:gem)
end
package will call pacakge_as_gem which in turn will create a
PackageGemTask. PackageGemTask has it's own install/uninstall/upload
implementations. package then takes the PackageGemTask instance and
extends it with ActsAsArtifact which overrides install/uninstall/upload
from PackageGemTask. The net effect of this is that
PackageGemTask#install is never called.
Given that observation I was wondering how to fix this and if it is
possible in the first place. In other words, it is possible for a
package to provide it's own versions of the methods defined in
ActsAsArtifact.
Regards,
Pepijn

Hi Pepjin,
to package a buildr extension you typically don't need to use Buildr itself.
You can create a .gemspec file, then do:
gem build gem.gemspec
gem push gem-1.0.gem
I might be missing something, but really the line you point at is not
related to gem building and is very important in Buildr - it helps Buildr
know how to handle packages as artifacts, so where to upload them for
example.
Thanks,
Antoine

Hi,
I'm trying to package a buildr extension as a gem so I can distribute it
more easily. It seems the PackageGemTask#install method is never called
though.
I'm kind of new to Ruby so I'm not 100% sure what's going on, but I think
line 173 in buildr/packaging/package.rb ('package.extend ActsAsArtifact') is
to blame. By extending the package object with ActsAsArtifact, the install,
uninstall and upload methods get overridden and so the Gem specific variants
are never invoked.
I would like to patch this, but I'm not sure what would be the best way
would be to resolve this? Is there some Ruby idiom that would allow this?
