Hi,
In Rake a file task may be something like
file app_obj => app_cpp
# compile
end
We've discovered that in some cases (such as where a path comes from the OS, an environment variable, say), it will contain backslashes, and sometimes (where Ruby has generated the path, or where we've coded it into the script - / is easier to read than \\) it will contain forward slashes. This difference seems to be significant when the paths are compared.
This results in the situation where the equivalent paths c:\folder\app.cpp and c:/folder/app.cpp are treated as being completely different. (We also get a mix of slashes in a single path: c:\folder/app.cpp).
It would make sense, IMHO, for these paths to be treated as the same.
Is there any way to do this? The closest thing I could find was this:
# Find a matching task for +task_name+.
def [](task_name, scopes=nil)
task_name = task_name.to_s
self.lookup(task_name, scopes) or
enhance_with_matching_rule(task_name) or
synthesize_file_task(task_name) or
fail "Don't know how to build task '#{task_name}'"
end
def [](task_name, scopes=nil)
task_name = task_name.to_s
self.lookup(task_name, scopes) or
enhance_with_matching_rule(task_name) or
synthesize_file_task(task_name) or
fail "Don't know how to build task '#{task_name}'"
end
I suppose I'd have to override this to loop through all the prerequisites and compare them, making the slashes on both sides consistent?
Thanks
John
