Hi,
Anyone who has modified the flow of tasks when building rail apps or
who have built their own tasks that rely on rails tasks is going to be
bitten. For example, almost all of my rails apps have something
similar to the example below. Also - almost all of my custom tasks
will depend upon rails tasks by name and they will probably break.
Adding a backwards portability layer layer will not really work in
many circumstances (like example below) unless the new-style tasks
invoke the old-style tasks to do the work which is just messy.
However IMHO the benefit is worth the break as long as it is well
documented in changelog.
----------------------------------------------------------------
module Rake
class Task
def remove_prerequisite(task_name)
name = task_name.to_s
@prerequisites.delete(name)
end
end
end
Rake::Task.lookup(:test_units).remove_prerequisite(:prepare_test_database)
Rake::Task.lookup(:test_functional).remove_prerequisite(:prepare_test_database)
Rake::Task.lookup(:test_units).enhance([:environment])
Rake::Task.lookup(:test_functional).enhance([:environment])
----------------------------------------------------------------
