Hey all,
I noticed a non-obvious issue with buildr that may be worth mentioning in
the docs.
I had a profiles.yaml set up as follows:
development:
enableDailyValueSetter: false
alpha:
enableDailyValueSetter: true
The idea being that I want a cron job to run on our development server but
not on individual development boxes. (Otherwise the values get set twice if
a developer leaves his/her machine running overnight, and it's not
idempotent.)
Then I used buildr as documented:
resources.filter.using :enableDailyValueSetter=>
Buildr.settings.profile['enableDailyValueSetter']
That did not cause any change. It took a while to figure out the issue, but
I solved it by using
resources.filter.using :enableDailyValueSetter=>
Buildr.settings.profile['enableDailyValueSetter'].to_s
My guess is that somewhere in the system, a piece of code says "if
(profileValue) do filter" and of course the "false" was getting evaluated as
boolean false.
I don't think that's incorrect behavior, but it might be worth mentioning in
the docs.
