Hoe is a simple rake/rubygems helper for project Rakefiles. It helps generate rubygems and includes a dynamic plug-in system allowing for easy extensibility. Hoe ships with plug-ins for all your usual project tasks including rdoc generation, testing, packaging, and deployment.
Sow generates a new project from scratch. Sow uses a simple ERB templating system allowing you to capture patterns common to your projects. Run `sow` and then see ~/.hoe_template for more info:
% sow project_name ... % cd project_name
and have at it.
Hoe maintains a config file for cross-project values. The file is located at ~/.hoerc. The file is a YAML formatted config file with the following settings (extended by plugins):
exclude |
A regular expression of files to exclude from check_manifest. |
Run `rake config_hoe` and see ~/.hoerc for examples.
Hoe can be extended via its plugin system. Hoe searches out all installed files matching 'hoe/*.rb' and loads them. Those files are expected to define a module matching the file name. The module must define a define task method and can optionally define an initialize method. Both methods must be named to match the file. eg
module Hoe::Blah def initialize_blah # optional # ... end def define_blah_tasks # ... end end
Add extra dirs to both $: and RUBY_FLAGS (for test runs and rakefile deps)
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 219 def self.add_include_dirs(*dirs) dirs = dirs.flatten $:.unshift(*dirs) s = File::PATH_SEPARATOR RUBY_FLAGS.sub!(/-I/, "-I#{dirs.join(s)}#{s}") end
Find and load all plugin files.
It is called at the end of hoe.rb
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 231 def self.load_plugins plugins = Hoe.plugins @found ||= {} @loaded ||= {} Gem.find_files("hoe/*.rb").reverse.each do |path| @found[File.basename(path, ".rb").intern] = path end :keep_doing_this while @found.map { |name, plugin| next unless plugins.include? name next if @loaded[name] begin warn "loading #{plugin}" if $DEBUG @loaded[name] = require plugin rescue LoadError => e warn "error loading #{plugin.inspect}: #{e.message}. skipping..." end }.any? return @loaded, @found end
Activates plugins. If a plugin cannot be loaded it will be ignored.
Plugins may also be activated through a plugins array in ~/.hoerc. This should only be used for plugins that aren’t critical to your project and plugins that you want to use on other projects.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 274 def self.plugin *plugins self.plugins.concat plugins self.plugins.uniq! end
The list of active plugins.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 282 def self.plugins @@plugins end
Execute the Hoe DSL to define your project’s Hoe specification (which interally creates a gem specification). All hoe attributes and methods are available within block. Eg:
Hoe.spec name do # ... project specific data ... end
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 295 def self.spec name, &block Hoe.load_plugins spec = self.new name spec.activate_plugins spec.instance_eval(&block) spec.post_initialize spec # TODO: remove? end
Activate plugin modules and add them to the current instance.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 308 def activate_plugins plugins = Hoe.plugins with_config do |config, _| config_plugins = config['plugins'] break unless config_plugins plugins += config_plugins.map { |plugin| plugin.intern } end Hoe.load_plugins plugins names = Hoe.constants.map { |s| s.to_s } names.reject! { |n| n =~ /^[A-Z_]+$/ } names.each do |name| next unless plugins.include? name.downcase.intern warn "extend #{name}" if $DEBUG self.extend Hoe.const_get(name) end Hoe.plugins.each do |plugin| msg = "initialize_#{plugin}" warn msg if $DEBUG send msg if self.respond_to? msg end end
Add standard and user defined dependencies to the spec.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 338 def add_dependencies self.extra_deps = normalize_deps extra_deps self.extra_dev_deps = normalize_deps extra_dev_deps case name when 'hoe' then extra_deps << ['rake', ">= #{RAKEVERSION}"] when 'rubyforge', 'rake', 'gemcutter' then # avoid circular dependencies for hoe's (potentially) hoe'd dependencies else extra_dev_deps << ['hoe', ">= #{VERSION}"] end end
Define the Gem::Specification.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 362 def define_spec self.spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s| dirs = Dir['lib'] s.name = name s.version = version if version s.summary = summary s.email = email s.homepage = Array(url).first s.rubyforge_project = rubyforge_name s.description = description s.files = files = File.read_utf("Manifest.txt").split(/\r?\n\r?/) s.executables = s.files.grep(/^bin/) { |f| File.basename(f) } s.bindir = "bin" s.require_paths = dirs unless dirs.empty? s.rdoc_options = ['--main', readme_file] s.has_rdoc = true s.post_install_message = post_install_message s.test_files = Dir[*self.test_globs] missing "Manifest.txt" if files.empty? case author when Array s.authors = author else s.author = author end extra_deps.each do |dep| s.add_dependency(*dep) end extra_dev_deps.each do |dep| s.add_development_dependency(*dep) end s.extra_rdoc_files += s.files.grep(/txt$/) s.extra_rdoc_files.reject! { |f| f =~ %^(test|spec|vendor|template|data|tmp)/% } s.extra_rdoc_files += @extra_rdoc_files end unless self.version then version = nil version_re = /VERSION += +([\"\'])([\d][\w\.]+)\11// spec.files.each do |file| next unless File.exist? file version = File.read_utf(file)[version_re, 2] break if version end spec.version = self.version = version if version unless self.version then spec.version = self.version = "0.borked" warn "** Add 'VERSION = \"x.y.z\"' to your code," warn " add a version to your hoe spec," warn " or fix your Manifest.txt" end end # Do any extra stuff the user wants spec_extras.each do |msg, val| case val when Proc val.call spec.send(msg) else spec.send "#{msg}=", val end end end
Returns the proper dependency list for the thingy.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 355 def dependency_target self.name == 'hoe' ? extra_deps : extra_dev_deps end
Convenience method to set add to both the author and email fields.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 439 def developer name, email self.author << name self.email << email end
Intuit values from the readme and history files.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 484 def intuit_values header_re = /^((?:=+|#+) .*)$/ readme = File.read_utf(readme_file).split(header_re)[1..-1] rescue '' unless readme.empty? then sections = Hash[*readme.map { |s| s =~ /^[=#]/ ? s.strip.downcase.chomp(':').split.last : s.strip }] desc = sections.values_at(*description_sections).join("\n\n") summ = desc.split(/\.\s+/).first(summary_sentences).join(". ") self.description ||= desc self.summary ||= summ self.url ||= readme[1].gsub(/^\* /, '').split(/\n/).grep(/\S+/) else missing readme_file end self.changes ||= begin h = File.read_utf(history_file) h.split(/^(={2,}|\#{2,})/)[1..2].join.strip rescue missing history_file '' end end
Load activated plugins by calling their define tasks method.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 514 def load_plugin_tasks bad = [] $plugin_max = self.class.plugins.map { |s| s.to_s.size }.max self.class.plugins.each do |plugin| warn "define: #{plugin}" if $DEBUG old_tasks = Rake::Task.tasks.dup begin send "define_#{plugin}_tasks" rescue NoMethodError => e warn "warning: couldn't activate the #{plugin} plugin, skipping" if Rake.application.options.trace or $DEBUG bad << plugin next end (Rake::Task.tasks - old_tasks).each do |task| task.plugin = plugin end end @@plugins -= bad end
Bitch about a file that is missing data or unparsable for intuiting values.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 544 def missing name warn "** #{name} is missing or in the wrong format for auto-intuiting." warn " run `sow blah` and look at its text files" end
Normalize the dependencies.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 552 def normalize_deps deps Array(deps).map { |o| if String === o then warn "WAR\NING: HOE DEPRECATION: Add '>= 0' to the '#{o}' dependency." [o, ">= 0"] else o end } end
Reads a file at path and spits out an array of the paragraphs specified.
changes = p.paragraphs_of('History.txt', 0..1).join("\n\n") summary, *description = p.paragraphs_of('README.txt', 3, 3..8)
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 569 def paragraphs_of path, *paragraphs File.read_utf(path).delete("\r").split(/\n\n+/).values_at(*paragraphs) end
Tell the world you’re a pluggable package (ie you require rubygems 1.3.1+)
This uses require_rubygems_version. Last one wins. Make sure you account for that.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 579 def pluggable! abort "update rubygems to >= 1.3.1" unless Gem.respond_to? :find_files require_rubygems_version '>= 1.3.1' end
Is a plugin activated? Used for guarding missing plugins in your hoe spec:
Hoe.spec "blah" do if plugin? :enhancement then self.enhancement = true # or whatever... end end
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 594 def plugin? name self.class.plugins.include? name end
Finalize configuration
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 601 def post_initialize intuit_values validate_fields add_dependencies define_spec load_plugin_tasks end
Declare that your gem requires a specific ruby version. Last one wins.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 619 def require_ruby_version version spec_extras[:required_ruby_version] = version end
Declare that your gem requires a specific rubygems version. Last one wins.

Provide a linear degrading value from n to m over start to finis dates.
# File lib/hoe.rb, line 626 def timebomb n, m, finis = '2010-04-01', start = '2009-03-14' require 'time' finis = Time.parse finis start = Time.parse start rest = (finis - Time.now) full = (finis - start) [((n - m) * rest / full).to_i + m, m].max end
